Kevin Butterfield — Fishers, IN — Brainforest

Kevin Butterfield

Founder

Kevin Butterfield is fascinated by the study and treatment of the brain. As a military veteran and the son of a prominent Neurosurgeon, his passion has been to change how brain conditions are identified and treated. Today, at Brain Forest Centers, Kevin continues to help people of all ages and all walks of life. He helps the individual child/adult and the family as a whole. Kevin is confident that treatment at Brain Forest will help you and your family members navigate ADHD/ADD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), or Pervasive Development Disorder (PDD).

Kevin is an avid automobile racing enthusiast and an outside-of-the-box thinker in motorsports safety. He is the Founder and CEO of Wellness Racing and is determined to bring change to the racing world. Kevin continues to develop solutions for issues arising in high-impact safety (e.g., football, motorsports racing, military). His military experience and love of racing have led him to be a pioneering trailblazer in his field. Kevin hopes that through the highly visual platform of motorsports racing, his ventures will bring awareness, prevention, and support to brain injury survivors worldwide.


Julie Cloud CNHP

Founder

Julie Cloud is a healthcare administrator, manager, clinician, public health educator, and advocate for women, children, and other underprivileged groups. She has dedicated much of her career to clinical patient care in general and specialized practice, including patients of all ages with acute and chronic health conditions and those with special needs. Julie was born and raised in a family with solid values and beliefs about helping vulnerable populations. She was influenced by a long line of family members who dedicated their lives to healthcare and advocacy.

After a traumatic life-changing experience, Julie realized her passion for helping others had risen to a new level. She was led to get involved in helping others who had experienced life-changing traumatic events or struggled with mental health issues. The best approach was to continue her education and pursue a leadership position.

As a recent Summa Cum Laude graduate from a B.S. in Healthcare Administration and Management program, Julie has worked to gain experience in volunteering and event planning for non-profit organizations and educational institutions. In her spare time, she enjoys being outdoors with her three boys, who share in her sports enthusiasm and love for travel, sushi, movies, and music. Julie hopes to instill the same values and social responsibility in her sons as her mother did in her.

Ryan Nunn 

Motorsports liaison

Ryan Nunn was born and raised in New Castle, Indiana. Being from a town famous for producing the likes of Steve Alford and the “World’s Largest and Finest High School Fieldhouse”, you would think Ryan would be a hoops loyalist. Although he does love basketball, as any Hoosier should, Ryan’s real love of sports was found about an hour west of his hometown at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. His parents started taking Ryan and his sister to the 500 festivities at the age of 8. Ryan became obsessed with the sound of roaring engines, squealing +res and the iconic voice of Tom Carnegie. Loyal to the sport during his formative years, Ryan became familiar with the knowledge of drivers, cars, crews, and stats. Friends call Ryan a walking and talking racing history book. It’s a dream come true for Ryan to work within the racing world.
