MEET DR. YVONNE K. FULBRIGHT
Merging diverse elements into a unified whole has always been second nature to Dr. Yvonne Kristín Fulbright, herself the result of Icelandic-American fusion. A dreamer and a doer with cosmopolitan ambitions, Yvonne set her sights on liberating individuals on sexuality matters through cross-cultural perspectives while barely an adolescent, who had just moved to the States. She did anything and everything professionally and academically possible to position herself as a world-renowned resource in sexology and sex education. Along the way, she wrote a number of books, including Pleasuring: The Secrets to Sexual Satisfaction; Your Orgasmic Pregnancy: Little Sex Secrets Every HOT Mama Should Know; Sex with Your Ex & 69 Other Things You Should Never Do Again; Touch Me There! A Hands-On Guide to Your Orgasmic Hot Spots, and The Hot Guide to Safer Sex,.
More than 20 years later, as an international sex and relationship expert, university professor, author, TV personality, guest lecturer, media resource, consultant, freelancer, and advice columnist, backed with degrees from New York University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Penn State University, she is pleased to offer her wealth of knowledge, training, and work experiences in human sexuality, international community health education, psychology, sociology, and holistic practices.

ADVISORY CADRE
Sensualfusion.com is pleased to announce the following incredible individuals and noted experts in their fields as members of the Sensual Fusion Advisory Cadre. We are grateful for their time, talents, and dedication to the cause.
RICK BARTH - BUSINESS LEADERSHIP & MUSIC
Rick Barth is a successful engineer, musician and entrepreneur, whose passion for leadership and innovation made him ideal for the sensualfusion.com advisory board. He presently works for Lockheed Martin Corp., specializing in advanced aircraft avionic design and related technologies. He holds a degree in Electrical Engineering from Penn State University and an MBA from Southern Methodist University.
Outside of work, Rick is active in two bands based in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area - one cover band and one original band. In 2003, the cover band enthusiastically received the "Best Cover Band" award from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram newspaper, and since 2004 they've proudly been the host band for the Texas Rangers Opening Day baseball game.
Rick's newest project is an original indie-rock band that has roots in artists like U2, the Rolling Stones and the Foo Fighters. Rick began playing bass in the late 90s, drawing inspiration from bassists Sting, Dean Dinning of Toad the Wet Sprocket, Michael Anthony of Van Halen, Adam Clayton of U2, and Victor Wooten of Bella Fleck & the Flecktones. True to his choral roots, Rick provides smooth harmonies on most songs to supplement his steady bass licks.
When not making music, you can find this 32-year old enjoying volleyball, backpacking, traveling and investing. In 2006, he formed a stock and options trading company geared toward short-term capital accumulation in the U.S. financial markets, perhaps the ultimate example of Rick's favorite saying, "timing is everything." A native of Columbus, OH, Rick is single and currently resides in Fort Worth, Texas.
