Profile Information

Our community would be delighted to know you better. Please tell us more about yourself and what brought you to 30BaD. Detailed responses will only be accepted (feel free to reapply with more detail if at first not approved as a member). We suggest you pick a name other than your own if you want to maintain anonymity.: I am a full-time athlete at the USA Olympic Training Center in Colorado. I train over 35 hours a week in the sport of Modern Pentathlon and currently ranked #1 in the US. As a result eat a lot of fruit! After living in Cali and having fresh local fruits all year it's hard to readjust to imported bananas and other not so fresh or ripe looking fruit, but the opportunity to train here and work towards a future Olympic games is amazing.

My wife and I have been Veg for over 20 years each and started doing "the raw thing" 8 years ago. As athletes our performances have only improved and it's hard to believe more people don't live like this. We are the proud parents of little girl who we delivered ourselves, and has been as healthy and big as can be!

In the past I've made my living as a bassoonists in orchestras, massage therapy, track & XC coach, preschool teacher, bicycle courier and more.

What is your gender? PLEASE NOTE: To enhance the community experience, profile pics of yourself are *REQUIRED* to gain membership. Membership will be declined otherwise.: hunk

Please tell us about your dietary inclinations:: I'm HCRV already

Reading "The 80-10-10 Diet" by Dr Doug Graham is vital for succeeding on this lifestyle. Please acquire this book as soon as possible.: I have read the book

Are you Connected?: yes married

My favourite books/movies/authors/pastimes are....: Books on Cosmology, Astrophysics, Anatomy, and Human Physiology have been on my rotation lately.

Durianrider & Freelee started this site to bring together high carb, raw vegan lifestylists' across the Globe! 30bad is a high standard and high performance team!

Justin replied to Pacificus's discussion Vegan violin bow in the group low-fat musicians

Justin replied to Hannah Day's discussion HELP! HAS ANYONE EVER FOUND A SOLUTION TO FIG MOUTH???
