Introduction

I live in Sq. Hill with my wife Jen, manage the vegan recipe site waffleparty.com, & provide strategic life consulting for socially/ecologically conscious people, overachievers, & intelligent misfits (idealistcoach.com).

Are you vegan, vegetarian or just curious?

"Total vegetarian" is probably the most accurate term: All vegan cooking/eating at home and still moving toward true veganism in other areas of consumption; occasional ovo-lacto exceptions when vegan options not available elsewhere.

What is your favorite local vegan-friendly restaurant?

Zenith Sunday brunch. I also like the Chicago Soy Dairy selection at Oh Yeah, and we've started enjoying the Co-op's cafe more often.

Are you the only vegan or vegetarian in your family?

No; my life partner Jen's philosophy/consumption patterns are pretty close to mine.

Anything else you would like to share about yourself?

I also compose music, love the outdoors, and authored a self-empowerment book called Naked Idealism.

What are you hoping to get out of this meetup?

I wish to connect with and enjoy the company of other people who value a healthy, sustainable world. Oh, and lots of delicious food...
