The Founders

Frustrated by a lack of participation in corporate wellness programs, Danna Korn and Bryan Van Noy decided to take a different tact and create the most engaging, innovative wellness program on the planet.

They have complementary skills and experience:  Bryan comes from a traditional wellness background, and led a large sales team at one of the leading wellness companies in the country.  Danna is a best-selling author whose specific area of expertise is motivating people to adopt healthier lifestyles...even when they may not want to (!).

Danna and Bryan created every aspect of the Sonic Boom program, and continue to innovate on a daily basis.

Bryan Van Noy

Chief Innovation Officer, President

Bryan has been a professional in the health care industry since 1994.  He worked in sales management at three of the largest traditional health plans in the country -- PacifiCare, Prudential, and Aetna. 

Before co-founding Sonic Boom, he was the National Director of Sales for the largest provider of complementary and alternative medicine and corporate wellness programs, American Specialty Health (San Diego).

Danna Korn

Chief Motivational Officer, CEO

Danna Korn is co-founder of Sonic Boom Wellness and Chief Executive Officer.  Taking on the role of Chief Motivation Officer as well, she is responsible for program innovation, client and user happiness, and strategic operations. 

She and her co-founder, Bryan Van Noy, were compelled to start Sonic Boom because they're passionate about the idea of corporate wellness - but were frustrated by the lack of participation.  They felt the missing link was sustained engagement and a focus on changing daily behaviors - so they built a program that people want to participate in.  With clients seeing active engagement of 60 - 95%, the concept is proving it works.

Danna began her work in the wellness industry in 1991, with a focus on nutrition and medical conditions that benefit from a gluten-free diet.  She is a best-selling author of six books on nutrition, including three in the prestigious "For Dummies" series.  Renowned as the country's "Gluten-Free Guru," Danna is respected as one of the leading authorities on the gluten-free diet and medical conditions that benefit from it.  She has been featured in People Magazine, on ABC's "20-20," and dozens of other national media outlets.  She was honored as "one of San Diego's Leading Fitness Visionaries" in the 2004 issue of Health and Fitness Magazine, and was awarded the Channel 10 Leadership Award for her philanthropic work in the community.
