Annie Adams
Customer Service Manager
Annie Adams grew up in San Diego, California after transplanting from Wisconsin in 1987. She moved to San Luis Obispo in 1999 to attend Cal Poly where she graduated with a bachelor's degree in General Engineering. After graduating, she moved to Long Beach, California where she worked as a client services representative at a medical billing company and also provided staff and client training for the company's online billing software. Despite moving to Long Beach, she couldn't get San Luis Obispo out of her head and moved back after finding MINDBODY Online. She loves the area, not only for her job, but also for the natural beauty and peaceful "SLO" life. The local trails are great for hiking and biking and the beaches are perfect for a relaxing weekend.
If you're ever looking for Annie outside of MINDBODY, she'll most likely be enjoying the paper, a cheese danish and coffee at Utopia bakery, relaxing to a massage or yoga class, or getting fit at Athlon Elite. Annie loves being part of the MINDBODY team and is excited to be part of such an innovative and growing company that serves such positive and fun industries.
Peter Hewitt
Dean of Staff Training
Peter earned a BA in economics and an MBA in finance from the University of Rochester, in Rochester New York. His early career saw stints with several large companies including Xerox, Kodak, and Bausch & Lomb.

A few twists and turns later, he now works closely with the developers to test new features and continually refine and improve the software. He stays in close contact with all the staff to learn about what MINDBODY’s clients are doing.
Loving life on the central coast, Peter lives on his hobby farm with his wife and their menagerie of animals. He got dragged to a yoga class, and discovered that he really likes it! To round things out, he teaches guitar, plays music, rides his bike, does yoga, Tai Chi, and Gyrotonics, enjoys good wine, and good friends.
