About John

I’ve spent over sixteen years working and studying around the world. I strive to apply everything I’ve learned as I continue my education to provide nothing short of the best quality care to those who rely on me for guidance.

At La Sorbonne in Paris, France, I first started to approach sustainable relationships with eating by balancing nutritious ingredients with more indulgent cuisines and finding opportunities where the two overlap.

I trained at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island, and graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science degrees in Culinary Arts, Culinary Nutrition, and Clinical Dietetics. During my studies, I worked as a chef in Newport, Rhode Island and served as a content developer, educator, and curriculum designer at Tulane University's Golding Center for Culinary Medicine in New Orleans, Louisiana.

I completed my dietetic internship at the University of New Haven in West Haven, Connecticut where I began to hone my abilities as a registered dietitian in clinical, outpatient, and community-based settings.

I continue to practice as a certified personal trainer, holding my certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine.

My education and experiences have enabled me to support hundreds of clients of all ages with managing various conditions and embracing healthier habits, achieving outcomes like improved blood pressure, cholesterol, body composition, blood sugar, and bone density with reduced medication burden (to name a few).

Prior to my careers in food and health I graduated cum laude from the State University of New York at Geneseo with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and held several management positions across various industries like advertising and corporate dining.
