Chaun CHAUN ALLAN, CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT: After serving in both the US Army and US Army Reserves, Chaun worked primarily in security while returning to civilian life. Chaun has a passion for food and family and divides his time between his daughters and the grill when he's not working. Since all of our staff at this point are volunteers, we have relied heavily on their education, expertise and experiences to feed our direction. In this way, we are constantly testing on the groound what is happening at various age groups in the context of economic impact on work and lifestyle. Chaun provides us with quite a bit of our intergenerational information from what the guys in his generation are thinking in politics and policy to what children and families have to deal with in school, public policy and home life. There is a suprisingly big difference in the way economy impacts work and lifestyle at different age groups. We process what Chaun sends us and reinterpret that information to stay contemporary with our lectures. Many of the videos he links us to end up as lessons in our session discussions, homework and recommendations.
