I grew up in Burley, Idaho, where I spent most of my time riding, racing, and repairing dirt bikes, skiing, and exploring the mountains. From a young age, I’ve been curious about how things work and naturally drawn to adventure.

I was also born with serious food allergies to dairy, wheat, eggs, and nuts. For most of my life, I tried to downplay it because I didn’t want it to define me. But in reality, it shaped many everyday experiences—especially social ones. Food was often a source of stress and quiet anxiety, from school lunches to group events to eating out with friends. Over time, that experience gave me a deep awareness of how isolating food anxiety can feel. It’s also what fuels my desire to build Fresh: a place where everyone, regardless of dietary restrictions, can eat with confidence and enjoy food without fear.

During high school, I went through a period where I struggled and developed habits that pulled me away from the kind of person I wanted to be. Toward the end of my senior year, I had a series of personal experiences with God that forced me to rethink my direction, my priorities, and the kind of life I wanted to live. That season became a turning point for me. It was then that I committed to serving a mission—a decision that ultimately became one of the most formative experiences of my life.

The only decision I place above it is marrying my wife, Olivia, whom I first met while we were both serving as missionaries. After our missions, we both attended Utah State University, where we reconnected. Today, Olivia and I live in Burley, Idaho, where we’re continuing our education and building a life together.
