RAZI ARIFUDDIN, MD, PRESIDENT (BOARD MEMBER)

I am a practicing physician with 17 years of experience in Texas/California. I have served on several hospital and medical group boards and feel honored to draw on this past experience to help ARC provide excellent quality service to our local athletes. As a co-founder of ARC, I aspire to support underprivileged athletes to achieve their dreams one day.

I am a lifelong Northern California resident who is passionate about community and helping others. I am a firm believer that participating in athletics is important and that good health care is instrumental.  No youth in our community should lack access to either. I am excited to serve as a VP for ARC and serving our community.

I have over twenty years of experience in business management and leadership, ranging from small company startups and acquisitions to managing large mature organizations. In 2014, I left behind a successful 17-year executive ladder career path in Corporate America with Corning Incorporated and founded Corrective Exercise and Restoration (CE&R) in Sebastopol, CA.

I have worked hard to make CE&R an organization that delivers the highest quality care in Athletic Training services in Sonoma County. I feel that our local underprivileged youth athletes, who may otherwise lack access, should not be deprived of the same high quality of care and co-founded Athletic Rehab Clinic - ARC. 

I understand the physical and non-physical challenges of the emotional burden of a chronic or acute injury after spending years on back injury rehabilitation. ARC’s mission is to provide holistic care for local underprivileged students or cancer survivor athletes.  I feel blessed to be part of ARC and help my patients reach their goal to return to play quickly. 

After earning my business degree, I continued to play soccer for both the University of Charleston and Point Loma Nazarene University in the NCCA. I was part of two conference championships at Charleston, two final four appearances, and a national finalist team. Before arriving in Charleston, I played for Atletico Santa Rosa, a local club within the area. I reside in Sonoma County and continue to play, coach, and mentor young soccer athletes. Jeremiah 29:11 reads, "for I know the plans I have for you, plans to give you hope a future." I joined ARC to learn and provide new opportunities for our student-athletes within our community. It is an honor to be a part of ARC in providing the underprivileged kids a sense of hope through any injury or setbacks they may encounter in the present or near future.

I am a Mortgage Loan Officer in California and super excited to be part of this amazing team. I believe it is imperative to help those who are in need and we must all do our part in contributing to a good cause. I believe, sports in general help individuals overcome many obstacles in their life and having non-profit like ARC helps encourage the underprivileged athletes reach their true potential. I am thrilled to serve my fellow athletes in anyway I can.

I have been living in Sonoma County for 25 years. As a mother of 3 boys who were active in sports, I firmly believe that sports participation builds character and life skills, but at the same time, I have observed the debilitating effects of sports injuries. I am excited to bring my volunteer experience with the Scouts, swim, and soccer team to ARC to help ensure underprivileged youth receive excellent quality care.

I am a proud Athletic Trainer excited to connect and provide care to those in our community. I hope to provide quality care and time to those that need our help but struggle to find the resources to obtain help. I am investing my time in an organization that creates a healing environment for those in need and provides me an opportunity to work while engaging both my head and heart. As a co-founder of ARC, I aim to be the arc that connects the individual to their highest achievement.

As an athletic trainer, supporting and providing healthcare services to the community is one of the staples that assists the public in being aware of the many skill sets of our profession. I have proudly served my local community over 20 years in the U.S. Air Force. My desire to continue community involvement, I assisted with co-founding and taking on the role of lead fundraiser for ARC. I am excited about providing healthcare services to our youth to maintain their ability to participate in sports and educating them on the importance of staying physically active.

I am a fundraiser for ARC, and have 30 years in the CPG industry, holding many leadership roles. As a cancer survivor, I know how beneficial exercise can be to the healing process. Exercise is still a big part of my life, and I can relate to the service ARC provides for young athletes who are struggling. Therefore, I am happy to help ARC in any way I can!

I am a Senior Design Manager, and have over 20 years of experience in the CPG industry, holding multiple leadership roles for Fortune 500 food and beverage manufacturing companies. After watching my son have multiple injuries through his time playing sports, and hearing of ARC's message to help young athletes, I decided to help raise funds for ARC whenever possible.  

Coming soon.

I am an employee for Corrective Exercise and Restoration with a passion for software engineering and website design. Recently, covering games with the ATs of CER and watching student athletes play the sports they enjoy has inspired me to assist ARC through designing and managing their website and occasionally covering ARC-supported games. 

I am the Managing Principal and Co-Founder of CalTax Accountants & Advisors. I have over 40 years of experience as a Senior Financial Executive, Solution Focused Accounting, and Tax Compliance Professional. I am excited to be part of ARC and serve our community.

As an attorney for the past 25 years and a lifelong athlete, I get the opportunity to combine my passion for public interest law and sports. After working as a public interest attorney, I took time off to stay at home with my two kids. During that time, I became involved in youth sports in Sonoma County and know how important it is to provide equal access to high quality athletic training. I am proud to be part of the ARC team by providing legal counsel to an organization that is offering a much needed service in our community.
