Instead, John found himself a few mentors to learn the fundamentals about health, fitness, and nutrition. While pursuing his masters and PHD, John linked up with a more technical savvy friend and launched Science Link, the predecessor to Precision Nutrition, in early 2000. This website became the only authority in nutrition and landed John numerous guest opportunities on major publications. When John released a nutritional course and made over $150,000 in two days, he knew he had a business in his hands.

Today, John can be found traveling the world, authoring books, training world championship teams/athletes, or spending time with his family.
