About Me

My life-long love affair with food began at age 5 at my grandmother Anna’s side..gardening, canning, freezing and standing on a step-stool learning how to cook.

I’ve been passionate about the relationship between food and health since being diagnosed with a stomach ulcer at age 15 and ate for health and wellness since that time.

I majored in nutrition and dietetics at the University of Wisconsin, wanting to know even more about food and it’s interaction with healthy living.  At the time I thought I wanted to go to Medical School but after graduation went to work in public health nutrition. I was also active but didn’t get the bug to race and actually train until I bought a book and trained myself to run my first marathon in 1998, to celebrate turning age 45 and the memory of my brother. I competed in my first triathlon to celebrate turning 50 and here I am today!

I did jump out of an airplance to celebrate 51…just seemed like the thing to do! My vocation and my avocation have merged which has fueled my passion to help others achieve their goals to live the life they thought they could only dream of.
