My name is Teri Donelson, founder and CEO of Purpose Chasing Academy and a founder and the COO of the Xtreme Hip Hop with Phil, a leading program in the fitness industry. I am one of eight, raised by a single mother in a country town in Texas… New Waverly! However I always knew there was something more waiting for me past the sticks and so my adventure started in 1996 after graduating from high school and attending University of Texas!
Faith intervened and I ended up in Cleveland Ohio in 2002 where I was married. That marriage produced two beautiful daughters, I gained a ton of weight and diagnosed as morbidly obese. I met a fitness guy named Phillip Weeden and after losing the weight I began to help him build his vision and that is where the adventure started.
