This Is How I Eat: Fueling a Trailblazer’s Life

Every great initiative stands on cornerstone pillars—foundational elements that support, elevate, and propel an idea toward impact. One of mine has always been clear: food is fuel, not restriction.

Whether it’s launching a company, summiting a peak, or simply navigating life’s pivots, nutrition has quietly but powerfully supported every step of my journey. I’ve never followed diets or counted calories. You can’t climb a 10,000-foot mountain on a restrictive mindset—and for most of my life, the diversity of my food and the joy of eating have been my strength.

Then, life happened.

Health challenges, surgeries, and time away from the trail meant my body changed. I wasn’t moving or climbing as much, yet I kept eating like I was. Progress slowed. Energy dipped. And I realized that if I wanted to return stronger, I’d have to rebuild one of my pillars: nutrition—with intention.

When I started We - Community With Purpose, I knew this was more than a business—it was a summit in the making. And this time, I would climb it as both an athlete and a founder. Today, I’m still in recovery from surgery, but I’m eating with purpose. I’m choosing foods that nourish healing, spark creativity, and support my mission.

Welcome to Taste to the Summit —a space where food isn’t about guilt or goals, but about growth. Here, I’ll share the meals, flavors, experiments, and joyful missteps that make up my real-life training table. I believe that food should be as bold and freeing as a summit expedition—and I invite you to join me in discovering how delicious that journey can be.

Let’s eat well. Let’s adventure better.

This is how I eat.
