I am a proud husband and father to two incredible young daughters. With a lifelong connection to food, I spent eight years as a Food Service Director at the South Dakota State Penitentiary, where I honed my expertise in meal planning and nutrition. Recently, I’ve undergone a personal transformation, achieving significant weight loss, which deepened my understanding of the critical role healthy eating plays in our lives. I am passionate about ensuring all children, including my own, have access to nutritious meals, especially those they might not have the opportunity to enjoy at home.
