Sachi and I first met in 2004 during our freshman year of college. We became fast friends over our shared love of film, television, writing, travel, and humor. After graduation, I pursued a career in the entertainment industry, and Sachi fell into the world of physical fitness. Before I knew it, she had a plethora of loyal clients, a growing business, and a kick-ass body. In recent years, Sachi’s interest in nutrition and the benefits of plant-based eating eventually led her to becoming The Colorful Coach!

I believe that all of these factors truly shaped my palate and gave rise to my affinity for food.
