After 15 seasons as a Major League Baseball pitcher, Todd Stottlemyre decided to give the finance world a whirl. 

So it wasn’t that much of a surprise when the World Series champion and second-generation professional ballplayer quickly figured out that sitting still at a desk wasn’t quite a fit.

“I woke up one day and realized I don’t feel like spending my life in an office,” Stottlemyre said. 

But what did excite him was an industry that played a key role in his professional life: food. Precisely, healthy food that helped his body and mind perform at the top of their capabilities.
