Interview

In mid 2025 I sat down for an interview covering most of the macro events of my adult life.

I've managed to navigate a lot of bad choices that resulted in some very good choices. Overall my life has been a nonstop adventure and I hope it continues! Here's an update if you want to hear more of my spontaneous stories, opinions and never-give-up mentality.

Running and Diet

Who sets the rules on what is a fruit, or vegetable? Where do berries and flowers fall in the mix, or can they? Tomato or Tomat-o? Fruit or Vegetable?

Here are some common definitions associated with a Fruitarian diet. Most of us like labels. They give us a way to quantify, structure and define who we are as individuals.

Since adopting a Fruitarian Diet I have set or improved on the following PR's:
