The COVID-19 insanity nearly broke me. After being unemployed for nearly a year, becoming homeless, moving to Mexico, developing a serious drinking problem, and gaining a lot of weight, things were looking bad.

You only know your lowest point when you begin to pick yourself back up. After a series of increasingly detrimental choices left me existentially cornered, my choices became turn it around or there’s no turning back.

So, I sobered up, discovered keto and learned all I could, embraced it fully and strictly for a few months and dropped from 190 lbs. to 143… a weight I had not been since high school.

I’m less strict about it all now but my history in the kitchen as a passion and a pro (working in restaurants) continues to inspire me to use what I learned to eat food that supports wellness, healthy living, and an athletic lifestyle.

I hope you find something you like.
