I spent 23 years at Domino’s, and while most people saw a job, I saw an education. I learned how to build teams, train leaders, mentor people, and run operations that had to work every single day. I learned how to earn trust, how to solve problems under pressure, and how to create systems that help people succeed. Those years shaped me — not just as a leader, but as someone who cares deeply about the people doing the work.
Eventually, I wanted to understand the “why” behind the numbers, so I went back to school and earned a degree in Data Analytics. That opened up a new way of thinking: how to measure what matters, how to improve processes, and how to make decisions based on real information. But even with all of that, my passion has always been food — food that brings people together, food that builds community, food that actually helps people feel better.
In December, I lost my job for standing up for my team. I refused to put employees on a performance plan six days after their manager was fired, because they hadn’t even been told what needed to improve. My boss said I couldn’t identify risk. I knew I was identifying something else — fairness, honesty, and the responsibility leaders have to the people they serve. It was a hard moment, but it made one thing clear: it was time for me to build something that aligned with my values.
Around that same time, Brad approached me about helping him set up a meal‑prep business. As soon as we started talking, I realized our skill sets lined up almost perfectly. He brings the creativity and culinary expertise, and I bring the leadership, operations, data, and the drive to build something real. Honest Team is the culmination of everything I’ve learned — decades of experience, a belief in transparency, a passion for food, and a desire to help people feel better and stay consistent.
I’m not trying to be someone I’m not. I’m bringing everything I’ve learned into something I believe in, something that reflects who I am, and something that can genuinely help people.

I was always that kid. I always had a ball to bounce, throw, kick. A bike to ride to the outer edge of town or build a ramp to jump it as high as I could. I have always enjoyed an active lifestyle.
Like gets in the way every time. I have the pleasure of being a girl dad and that changed everything for me. The active lifestyle that I always enjoyed was replaced with practice (dance or sports), games and competitions. My daughters were now my focus and I did not have time to play sports or enjoy working out like I used to. Not a big deal, I have never enjoyed anything more than being a girl dad!
Now that my girls have grown up I am able to get back to the activities that I enjoy so much. I try to focus on the things that I enjoy and being active s fun for me. I still play basketball. I have taken up boxing in the last few years and I realized that going for a 4 mile run can in fact be fun and not dreaded like I used to when I was younger.
My ethos is this: Do the activities that you find fun, exciting and it will never be a chore! I enjoy working out for the mental break and to listen to music. I don't do it to look a certain way or to prove anything to anyone. I focus on how I feel and what brings me joy and I stick to that, simple.
Food
I have always loved food. It has been a passion of mine since I can remember. I always wanted to try new things and I was never scared if I did not like something, I just moved on to something else.
I have been working in the food industry since I was 16. I have always been around food and I have always wanted to learn how to prepare different food, what flavor combinations worked well together, what new worlds could I unlock through food,
Every opportunity I had to learn something I took full advantage of. I was given an opportunity to enter the world of bbq and I wrapped both arms around the opportunity. I embraced every aspect of bbq, from the different disciplines of bbq, different cultures and taste profiles. With hard work and dedication I was able to teach myself enough to become an award winning pitmaster.
Now I have entered the Meal Prep world and I could not be happier! I know that healthy food is not boring and/or not flavorful. How we treat ingredients, where we get them from all matter. I want to bring exciting, flavorful, colorful food for people to enjoy!
