Hi, I'm David.
Let's work together to build sustainable habits, lose weight with confidence, and gain control of your health.
If you're tired of conflicting nutrition advice, diets that never stick, or feeling like you're always starting over, you're not alone. I'm a certified nutrition coach and personal trainer with a background in Exercise Science, and my goal is to help you build healthier habits through realistic, science-backed coaching. I started Own the Grind to support every-day people in the often difficult task of reclaiming their health. Whether your goal is to lose weight, perform better in the gym, or simply feel more confident in your body, I’ll help you create a plan that fits your lifestyle.
Why Choose Me
Real Coaching, Real Results
There are plenty of one-size-fits-all nutrition plans out there, but that’s not what I offer. I work with you to help you achieve your goals through education, habit-building, and personalized support. I will always keep your individual circumstances in mind, and we'll work together to set the long- and short-term goals that work best for you!

My Promise To You
I’m not here to overwhelm you with information, or tell you to spend every waking hour in the gym. I want to meet you where you are in order to help you move forward. If you’re ready to start making progress, I’d love to work with you.
