My path to functional nutrition wasn’t a straight line—it was more like a winding trail full of lessons, self-discovery, and a whole lot of soul-searching.

It all started with a phone call to my mom that planted a seed in my mind: maybe there was a better way to look at health. I’d always been fascinated by how the human body works, but traditional health careers felt… incomplete, to say the least. They focused on parts instead of the whole picture. Our bodies, minds, and spirits aren’t separate—they’re beautifully interconnected. When I found functional medicine, it was like everything finally clicked.

My journey has been hands-on from the start (literally). I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and Fitness, and I spent over five years as a massage therapist, helping hundreds of clients. That time taught me something profound: the body isn’t just a collection of muscles and bones—it tells a story. Emotions show up as tension, and unprocessed trauma can linger as chronic pain. The human body is art, science, and mystery all wrapped into one.

In 2021, I took a leap of faith and pursued my dream. I enrolled in a Master’s program in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine and graduated in 2023—just two weeks before my second daughter was born. (Talk about timing!) Today, I live in New Albany, Indiana, with my strong-willed, wonderful wife, our two daughters, and three dogs. We love small-town life with big-city access and spend as much time together, whether that’s outside or inside reading books, cooking, or watching our favorite shows!

At Evolve and Conquer, my mission is simple: to help you build a strong relationship with your body and mind by working in sync with its natural rhythms and honoring its unique design. I know how overwhelming it can be to feel stuck, whether it’s with your energy, your body, or just life in general. I’ve been there—more times than I can count. But I also know the freedom and confidence that come when you start to understand your body and what it needs.

I’m here to share everything I’ve learned (and continue to learn) to help you uncover your version of thriving. Life is always evolving, and so are we. Together, we’ll create a plan that works for you.

Let’s take this journey together. It’s time to evolve, conquer, and create a life you don’t want to escape from!
