In addition to an MBA and a BS in Industrial Engineering, he holds a certificate in plant-based nutrition from the T.

Having concluded that our food choices hold the key to the sustainability of our civilization, he has made this his #1 priority---exploring all avenues for influencing humans everywhere to move back to the natural plant-based diet for our species.
