About Me

I’m a certified fitness professional (NSCA CSCS) and performance nutrition specialist with a deep background in journalism. I have extensive experience in print, digital, and broadcast media as an editor, content creator, and subject matter expert for such brands as Men’s Health, Runner’s World, Popular Science, Discover, Vice, Esquire, and National Public Radio. I also applied these skill sets as an executive director at BODi (Beachbody on Demand), helping to keep this industry-leading company at the bleeding edge of health and wellness. Through it all, my passion has been helping people live more fully, intentionally, and healthfully by reporting from the frontlines of science, technology, and modern culture, and guiding them directly through uncommonly sensible life hacks.
