About Me

My initial interest in nutrition started in part as a result of my father passing away from a heart attack at age 44 years old. I have also been an athlete for most of my life so those two reasons led me on a path to figuring out optimal foods for me. Fast forward to a lifetime of study of nutrition both at the university level and most importantly in my opinion from some brilliant practitioners, I have figured out an optimal life for me and can assist you to ID the foods and lifestyle for you to thrive.

​

I retired as a Colonel from the U.S. Army in Sept 16 where I had a proven track record of utilizing my leadership skills to assess situations quickly and motivate those that I work with to accomplish our goals and objectives.

​

I understand that each person has their own unique set of challenges and because of this I am able to help people achieve their health goals. I have been helping people all over the country to uncover the root cause of their health struggle by showing them how to eat correctly, test for things like hormonal disfunction, leaky gut and more. I love helping people feel better and achieve their goals of weight loss, improved energy levels and optimum health and athletic performance.

​

I live in Santa Cruz, CA and I have three children (21, 18 and 16). In addition to spending a lot of time on exercise activities, I also regularly practice yoga and internal martial arts and try to be in nature as much as possible.
