His background is in Food Science and Human Nutrition, but he skipped the clinical route in favor of personal training. He opted to work with those eager to achieve optimal performance.

As he saw people fail with their workout plans, he wondered, "Why do their actions not align with their goals? That question made him learn more about the psychological side of behavior change and performance.
