BACKGROUND
I was raised in a family that valued food as a means of nourishment and connection. At the kitchen table we would discuss our day, celebrate success, and discuss difficulties - which helped to meld our family. My mom, grandmothers, and grandfathers enjoyed cooking - everything from apple pie to manicotti (see picture below with my grandpa's barbecuing on beach). In my early 20's, while traveling and working in Saas Fe, Switzerland, I was influenced by mentors such as Frau Elisabeth Kuhn of Stuttgart, Germany, who stated: "Life is long, follow what really interests you", which helped solidify pursuing the field of nutrition. On this path I've met amazing teachers and mentors such as Gary Newkirk MD, and Robert Maurer PhD of Family Medicine Spokane; also Vivienne Dutzar RDN, Michelle Weinbender RDN, and Hilmar Wagner RDN of The Emily Program. Tina Geithner PhD of Gonzaga University, and Rebecca Stolberg RDH, MSDH of Eastern Washington University. All are stellar colleagues and teachers. My wife Joan has been the north-star of my life. She has supported my career and continues to explore Asian cooking, assisted by our two creative and intelligent adopted daughters from China. I'm also eternally grateful to the thousands of clients and students that I've worked with over the years that have also been my teachers.
