THE STORY

HEALTH CHANGED EVERYTHING.

After losing both of my parents to cancer, I made the decision to completely change my life and rebuild my diet from scratch.

I chose a pescatarian lifestyle because, at the time, Detroit had very few restaurant options that supported the way I wanted to eat. Even after changing my diet, I still struggled with fatigue and being out of shape. That pushed me to begin working out, boxing, and training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and salmon became a major part of my nutrition.

When the pandemic began in 2020, being an entrepreneur with a demanding schedule made finding convenient, healthy meals even more difficult. I was forced to start cooking for myself, and what began as a necessity quickly became a passion.

After preparing more than 5,000 meals and dedicating over 10,000 hours to learning, experimenting, and cooking for myself, my family, and my friends, people began asking to purchase my food. That inspired me to create Sammen and share these meals with the world.

Sammen was built to make flavorful, nutritious food easier to enjoy. With every meal, we are committed to delivering convenience, consistency, affordability, and efficiency without sacrificing quality.

THIS IS MORE THAN SALMON.

HEALTH IS WEALTH.
