Becoming vegan has been a journey for me. I stopped eating pork back in middle or high school. Eschewed beef by my sophomore year of college. Left behind seafood sometime in my mid-twenties and then became vegetarian in my 30s. I made the transition to veganism about 1-1/2 years ago. I would say that I am a 99% vegan as I may eat something that contains eggs on rare occasions. A few other fun facts: I am a poet and a storyteller. I have an MBA in marketing and extensive experience/expertise. I am also a budding cyclist (with my longest ride to date being 65 miles).
