As a kid growing up in West Aurora, IL I was surrounded by an unhealthy lifestyle of junk foods and lack of exercise. I was overweight throughout my elementary years at school and also suffered with an allergic disorder of chronic urticaria all the way until I moved to Los Angeles, CA at the age of 21 years old. This is where my life completely changed when I began working out at Gold's Gym in North Hollywood and met some of the greatest mentors of my life. They taught me the art of bodybuilding along with proper nutrition which eventually transformed my body (with strong commitment and discipline) and cured my urticaria!
Since then, I decided to go into school to learn more about holistic nutrition and eventually led me to a job in Denver, Colorado. Now, one of my mentor reached out to me very recently and offered me an amazing job opportunity back in Los Angeles which I just earned! I will be back in California January of 2018 :)

In addition, I love sports (especially football), movies (as I was once an actor) and have a love for in depth conversations in regards to spirituality, meaning of life, economy, environmental issues, health and global cultural shifts and trends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be travelling for the next couple months and thought of creative ways to avoid pricey hotels/motels. I am a nutritionist which just got a new job for a company based in Los Angeles, CA. I am currently in Denver, CO and before I move to California I will be travelling to Tuscon, AZ to see a very dear friend who is sick. From there I will be travelling to Chicago, IL where most of my family is from and spend time with them for the holidays. By January my goal is to start my new career in California! Excited to meet some interested and awesome people along the way! :)
