My name is Jack Goldman.

I'm a student-athlete at Oakwood Secondary School in North Hollywood, California. I started Bazinga Bites because three things that matter deeply to me — physical fitness, nutrition, and mental health — are more connected than they may seem.

As an athlete, I've learned firsthand how much taking care of your body can affect the way you feel mentally. Running and exercise have taught me about discipline, resilience, community, and the importance of having healthy ways to deal with stress and challenges.

I created Bazinga Bites as a way to turn those values into something tangible. I wanted to make a snack from wholesome, organic ingredients that could fuel people doing the things they love, while using the proceeds to support an issue I care deeply about: mental health.

What started with making energy bites has become something bigger. By selling Bazinga Bites at farmers markets, pop-ups, athletic events, and community gatherings, my goal is to start conversations about healthy living while raising money for organizations that provide mental health support.

For me, Bazinga Bites isn't just about what's in the bite. It's about what the bite can do.
