Give it to me Raw

Hope leads to quiet desperation when reality obscures the dream

Profile Information

About Me:
I've been a raw foodist for 7 years now. I have made it a point to research and educate others on this healthy lifestyle, and my path is constantly renewing and invigorating me on a daily basis.

My current occupation is Academic Dean at a business college in Jacksonville, FL. I am currently doing research on a book about the raw food movement and all of its beautiful participants. This site has been a godsend, and I am constantly renewed by the participation of this community at large.

Furthermore, I welcome all types of contact from any of those wonderful people who care to reach out and say "hello". I am friendly and I choose not to bite ;-0
How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
This community exists, and for that I am grateful. I could rant and rave about my individualistic/collectivist theories until I am blue in the ears. I shall not do so in this format based on enusing boredom that would hamper the reader.
Relationship Status:
Single
Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?
Almond breaded/curry dusted coconut "white fish", over a spiced red broth, garlic-rosemary "potatoes", topped with a mango/grape tomato salsa
Interests (outside of Raw Food):
Educating, writing, heavy metal/jazz/new age, the New York Mets, snowboarding, reading, financial planning, traveling. I have travel plans for 2009, and I would welcome the opportunity to meet with fellow raw foodists to join for intelligent discussion, good food, and kindred spirits (the non-alcoholic kind of spirits)

Itinerary, 2009:


11/09/09 - 11/10/09: Columbia, SC
11/23/09 - 11/30/09: Portland, OR
12/02/09 - 12/06/09: Las Vegas, NV

*note: Fates Warning was absolutely incredible :-) Portland, OR has always been on my radar, so I am looking forward to heading out there, and even visit some friends. In December, my college has graciously nominated me for their Circle of Excellence in Las Vegas!! There's 2 raw cafes in Vegas, so I'm looking forward to it :-)
Favorite Books or Authors:
  • Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand
  • In the Absence of the Sacred - Jerry Mander
  • We Talk, You Listen & God Is Red both by Vine Deloria
  • Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas - Tom Robbins
  • Become Younger - Dr. Norman Walker
  • The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress & The Number of the Beast - Robert Heinlein
Favorite Quote:

Oh hey, you're so welcome! No I don't think teeth brushing will undo it. Actually it will finish the job. You can do it with just a wet toothbrush without toothpaste. I'm so glad its working for you!

Cool! I also have a pic with Viktoras Kulvinskas. It was taken when I was doing the Health Educator´s course at the Hippocrates Health Institiute a few years ago. Hours and hours of classes with him, holding our jaws out of awe for his insurmountable knowledge! Thanks to his lectures everyone was hooked on a large amount of enzimes and we were all feeling fantastic. Keep rawking, Ian :)...

Hire me as a professor, eh? What kind? A professor of positive energy and enthusiasm? hehehe. Well, in all seriousness, I've always felt like a natural teacher/ healer so the idea of working in a school- teaching, inspiring, etc. isn't that far-stretched. =)

I'm all about the "crazy theories"... anything that makes me think, stroke my imaginary beard and go "ah-haaa"... So I'll look for your blog! =)

Hello Ian! Thanks for finding me on this site! Glad you like my tunes! I'd love to hear all about your individualistic/ collectivist theories... sounds enthralling. =)

I've finally decided to seriously take the plunge into raw veganism. In August I was 100% raw vegan for 19 days but I went back to my sloppy vegetarian cooked diet. At least I've been vegetarian for over a year now. I'll never eat meat again, that...
