Fuel your
freedom

I grew up in Woodbridge, Ontario, and started judo at seven. More than a hundred competitions later, in 2024, I became national champion and joined the national team. The sport kept me away from home: Montreal, Germany, wherever the next camp was. Living alone taught me to cook.

Competing at that level teaches you that training is only half the job. Feed it badly and your body stops keeping up. That is not philosophy, it is just what happens.

Athletes kept getting two options: high-protein food that was miserable, or something delicious that did nothing for their goals. I never believed those were the only two.

So cooking became another craft to master. I experimented at home, cooked for friends, and kept pushing until it took me into restaurants: four kitchens, Italian through fine dining, learning from every team.

I loved the intensity and the detail. But I wanted my own menu, my own standards, and a real relationship with the people eating my food.

Free Will Eats started with one meal-prep customer I found on Marketplace. Every week I cooked for him and made it a little better. When I moved from competing to coaching at Xtreme Couture, I cooked for people at the gym too. What I had spent years learning to make for myself was what nearly everyone wanted.

Free Will Eats is the freedom to create your own path. It came from refusing someone else’s menu and someone else’s idea of my future. That is the freedom I want to hand you: I take care of the food, so you have room to train, recover, work and live.

I still write the menus, develop the recipes, cook, pack, film and deliver. My effort is in every meal that reaches you. Tell me how this week’s menu was and I will get back to you.
