I grew up in Central New York where I currently reside. As a kid I played many sports, but ultimately chose to pursue hockey. Early in my teenage years, I became interested in fitness and nutrition, having seen the positive impact that it had on my athletic performance. Unfortunately, this interest turned into an obsession with my weight and body image. At one point in high school, I was consistently consuming under 1,000 calories a day while training, practicing, and competing at a high level. This stage of life was unhealthy and challenging, but I’m forever grateful for the lessons I learned and the growth that resulted from those struggles. Though it took time and effort, I was able to redevelop my relationship with food and embrace the fact that calories are what fuels us, rather than something to severely restrict. As I emerged from high school and went on to play in college and professionally, I developed a passion for creating a truly healthy and well-balanced lifestyle; one that is rich in foods that are wholesome and nutritious, exercise that is enjoyable and rewarding, and experiences that center us in joy and gratitude. For years, I’ve dreamed of having a platform that allows me to share that passion with others and make a difference in people’s lives. That dream has now become a reality and I’m pleased to offer Nutrition & Lifestyle Consulting to help my clients achieve the best version of themselves.
