Hello! My name is Jack, and I am a Performance Dietitian who specializes in nutrition counseling with a focus on sports performance, food literacy, and mental wellbeing. While I provide evidence-based recommendations to help athletes and active individuals perform at their highest level, my primary mission is to empower others to achieve long-term wellbeing by building a healthy relationship with mind, body, and food. 

From a young age my only goal in life was to become a professional soccer player; and I was willing to make big sacrifices to reach that goal. While I did find success as an athlete (NCAA Division-1 Soccer, Semi-Professional Soccer, and Ironman Triathlete), I also had first-hand experience with the struggles that come with defeat, injuries, performance anxiety, body image, irrational food behavior, and loss of identity.

The reason I got into nutrition was to learn how to optimize my own performance through food. At first, this led to me being obsessed with everything I put in my body; as I could ONLY view FOOD as FUEL. However, after combining my athletic background with years of formal education and professional experience in the field of nutrition, I have learned how to connect the dots between peak performance and long-term health.

And guess what? It begins in the kitchen.​

Through culinary nutrition and evidence-based research, I have learned how to translate cutting-edge science using simple strategies and the power of nourishing food to develop personalized, sustainable solutions for clients. Proper nutrition will make you a better athlete, but it will also make you a better and happier human.

On a personal note, I live in beautiful Denver, Colorado and spend most of my free time in one of two ways: experimenting in the kitchen or enjoying the great outdoors. When I’m not discovering new recipes, you can find me in the mountains rock climbing, skiing, or backpacking.
