CLIENT SUCCESS
“I worked with Shawn for several, and the one thing that has always stood out to me is his level of dedication to educate athletes in sports nutrition. With Shawn it is more than just Macros on a spread sheet. Shawn shares his knowledge so athletes can be independent and truly understand how to fuel their bodies for maximum performance. Give a man a fish feed him for a day. Teach a man about lean protein and Omega-3s in Fish give a man the tools to fuel his performance for a lifetime. That’s what you get with Shawn.”
Tyler Davis, CSCS, RSCC
Strength and Conditioning Coach University of Central Missouri
“As a college professor and department chair, I have followed Shawn through his trajectory of education, professional development, and career growth. Shawn has an incredible work ethic which has brought him to become my valued expert on sports nutrition. I have consulted with Shawn, many times, on advances in sports nutrition and what new information is important for me to teach dietetic students. I have shared resources that Shawn either creates, is authored in, or has come across in his professional career. Shawn essentially teaches the next set of Registered Dietitians through me. He is a resource from professionals, students, and athletes.”

“Working with Shawn as a Sports Performance Specialist and now as a Doctor of Chiropractic student has helped me personally grow with my profession for not only my own performance, but also my clients/athletes. Every time I need a reality check in making sure I am doing right by myself or the people I am working with I reach out to Shawn. I always have Shawn on speed dial working with him on aiding recovery from old injuries and breaking down the basics from hydration, portion control, and overall timing of needing when to eat proper foods. Shawn's personality works extremely well with many age groups because he truly knows how to connect and explain things at a very basic level, but also a professional level to where he can go from speaking to a high school athlete, to a professional athlete, and to a pear and say the same thing differently to have it connect well with that said individual. ”
