Vegan since the end of 1997, raw foodist since the end of 2000 (the very end - 12/31).
My nickname and business name, The Naughty Vegan... came after creating Vice Cream® (gourmet dairy-free dessert). A physician friend said, (paraphrased) "while so many people are going to less sugar and low-fat, you're making this sweet high-fat decadent dessert... you're NAUGHTY! You're a NAUGHTY VEGAN!" I liked the name, so I kept it!
I've had a vegan food booth at the annual PETA Gala (NYC), several International Raw and Living Foods Festivals, and have spoken at vegan, vegetarian, and raw food events around the US and Canada.
I offer my gourmet vegan "ice cream" recipes (including lots of raw recipes) in my book, Vice Cream (vicecream.com), which won a Proggy Award from PETA (http://www.peta.org/feat/proggy/2004/winners.html#dess

I look forward to helping everyone learn more about raw plant-based foods, so they may make better decisions regarding their diet and health (as well as the animals and planet!)

I participated in the planning of our Annual Fundraising Gala on February 16, 2008. Our Keynote Speaker was David Wolfe. It was a black tie affair with gourmet vegan raw food!!!

I have attended the first two Raw Lifestyle Film Festivals (serenityspaces.org/filmfest08.asp) in Los Angeles and look forward to more! It's great to network with like-minded individuals, as well as see the newest raw food documentaries, other health-related films. (Thanks Dorit!)
I usually attend the annual WorldFest event in Los Angeles and plan to be there this year (worldfestevents.com). My friend, Dan Piraro (http://www.soystache.com/DanPiraro.htm), will be the MC this year!
