Like many people, I struggled early in life to really figure out what it was I should pursue to make something of myself. I bounced around jobs, was in and out of school, tried to pursue a professional soccer career, and still lived with my parents. This went on for about two years until I decided to make one of the best choices in my life, join the U.S. Navy. It was here, over my 6-year enlistment as a Corpsman, I found my true passion for health and nutrition.

As my time in the military came to an end, I knew exactly what I wanted to do and how to do it. Upon leaving the military I enrolled in the Dietetics Program at D’Youville College, where I finished both my Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree within three years. My experience in the military, along with my knowledge and experience gained at D’Youville College, set me up to share all I have to offer with people across WNY.

Now, my goal in life is to reach as many people as possible and show them how a great relationship between food and wellness can be achieved. Please allow me to teach and educate you on creating a sustainable lifestyle in which food and wellness are joined, giving you the tools to develop the best possible version of yourself.
