For as long as I can remember I have been captivated by food and cooking.

Growing up, there was little discernment between food my body loved and food my taste buds loved. By middle school, I was labeled “obese”. I was eating pizza, from a local chain, at my middle school cafeteria almost every day. There was a lot of good food too, but too much of the ubiquitous fast food, chips, soda, candy, and snacks that have been so normalized for modern humans.

My karma has been to wake up from the coma that so many are still in, sleepwalking through this realm of pseudo foods that we would be better off without, and to inspire others to do the same.

Thirty years later with a beautiful wife and two boys, I strive to offer food that truly speaks to our bodies, minds and spirits.

Is it easy? No. Feeding a family can be so damn complicated. Screaming kids, soccer practice, and outside influences entering the home, can create what feels like chaos.

So, you might as well get really good at cooking, so you’ve got that part down.

That will only help you have more grace with the much harder stuff, of holding space for your family and yourself.

I promise you, the cooking can be easy. None of it is hard. Make that your mindset.

I’ll feed you the lessons, the techniques, and plenty of inspiration to set you up to own this part of your life and make it so fun and so delicious.

Filling your life with real, resonant food is choosing intentionally the beautiful, rich experience of truly being here on this earth. You are choosing to experience the best of this world. Our ancestors didn’t make this choice. They just lived it. Let’s honor them, our kids and future generations by reclaiming a life of what we’re meant to have. Real, amazing, deeply nourishing food.

Let’s get cooking.
