I am an entrepreneur, scientist, author, and storyteller. I spend most of my time working on Journey Foods and creative projects that excite me deeply: my book and animation. I don't do all at once, but I weave in FOOD in most of my endeavors since a young age; gardening with my grandmother and fishing with my grandad. In the food system, there is a lot of work to be done so one must diversify both inspiration and endeavors to continue to harvest change. I share my perspective on all things food and culture weekly.

Consumers spend $3 Trillion a year on packaged foods. At the same time, there’s undeniable evidence that eating packaged foods is related to the increase in chronic diseases - cancer, diabetes, and poor mental health. Our manufacturing and farming practices emit tons of carbon emissions that affect the nutrient values of our food every year. We can change these problems with better science and data tools. I work on solving the greatest problems in food that affect my family, our communities, and the world.
