His personal journey started as a retail pharmacist just trying to help diabetic patients. What he learned over the last decade is that teaching patients about the impact of diet, medications and lifestyle is the most valuable tool for improving health outcomes.

He wanted to use his background as a pharmacist to fill that need for patient education. Unlike pharmacy school, he now has evidence-based information at his fingertips. And for the curious-minded, there are several clever ways to discover where conflicts of interest in the government, food, and pharmaceutical industries have shaped our misunderstanding of chronic disease. ​

On a personal level, he found the ketogenic diet to be a powerful tool in helping him drop over fifty pounds and fuel his newly found passion for the watersport, SUP (stand-up paddle). He was able to achieve this goal and significantly improve various health markers. This personal dietary experiment added passion to his career transition from a traditional retail pharmacist to an educator and coach. Before he knew it, he was offering diabetes classes and leading a weekly support group. ​

With recent advances in wearable technologies like CGMs (continuous glucose monitoring) and smart watches, patients can get important feedback in real-time regarding the consequences of their choices. His role is to facilitate learning as they navigate their own personal trek back to better health.
