Marisa was first introduced to Tae Bo in 2000 when she began working for Billy Blanks' business advisor. Prior to attending her first class at Billy's training center, she remembers telling his assistant that she couldn't wait to get better at Tae Bo so that class would be easier. His response was that as your skill in Tae Bo improves, classes only get tougher, because you learn to push yourself harder. After this initial class, Marisa's love for Tae Bo continued to grow. Not only was she taking classes with Billy at his studio, she also began taking over many Tae Bo related tasks. Marisa now receives all appearance requests for Billy, maintains his calendar, coordinates publicity, receives all Tae Bo inquiries, and is in charge of The Billy Blanks Team Central™ for Billy's company.
