About Julian

  • I grew up in Northeast Washington DC, navigating both opportunities and challenges in a rapidly changing city.
  • After high school, I joined the Marine Corps, where I built leadership skills and discipline.
  • I eventually transitioned into teaching, which started as a temporary plan but eventually led me to culinary education and mentorship.
  • I attended culinary school in Atlanta, gaining hands-on experience in restaurants and catering.
  • During the COVID-19 pandemic, I became a certified health coach, launching 8 Plates Fitness.
  • I also started an urban farm to promote sustainable agriculture and wellness in my community.
  • Today, I combine my passions for teaching, cooking, and health to help others transform their lives.
