He is also a YouTuber, spiritual coach, and certified World Peace Diet Facilitator. Michael has presented in Canada, United States, Belize, Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, England, Australia, and New Zealand and has been featured on dozens of FM/AM radio stations, podcasts, webinars, various websites, magazines, and media outlets, sharing veganism to millions worldwide. He is also the founder of Peaceful Village (in the planning stage) and the host of Creating a Beautiful World Radio. He is inspired and a student of Dr. Will Tuttle, PhD, author Mango Wodzak, Dr. Casey Taft, PhD, Gregg Braden, and Louise L. Hay.
As a teenager, Michael dreamed of being a musician, record producer, DJ, and entrepreneur. From 2003 and on, he occasionally produced electronic and ambient music in his bedroom. He was a photographer and played the piano, harmonica and hand drums occasionally for many years.
In 2006, he got into mobile DJ’ing at weddings and corporate events, but this changed when he had an awakening to veganism in 2009. About a year later, he decided to pursue writing, which developed into blogs and his first full-length book, The Interconnectedness of Life (released in Decemeber 2014).
Michael created the grassroots group TARVE (also known as Toronto Animal Rights & Vegan Expo), a monumental event called Toronto Vegan Expo (reaching over 3000 people in 3 years), and the FARM Pay-Per-View in Toronto. Having very prominent roles within the Toronto and worldwide vegan communities, he has leafleted more than 100,000 vegan pamphlets and reaching millions of people through YouTube and Facebook.
He has also volunteered for local and international groups such as Compassion for Animals in Burlington, Ontario, Toronto Vegetarian Association, Animal Save Movement (Toronto Pig/Cow/Chicken Save), Direct Action Everywhere (DxE), Anonymous for the Voiceless, and Animal Equality, reaching the masses with the vegan message.
Michael lives a vegan, mainly raw, straight edge (no alcohol, drugs or smoking) and a simple, minimalist lifestyle. He is a nonconformist and anarchist and is doing his best to slowly transition away from society by creating veganic homesteading communities through his online forum and Peaceful Village.
He gives away many of his books for free, as the vegan message of love and compassion must be shared with as many people as possible to create paradise on Earth. He is available for international talks and interviews in-person and online.
As a spiritual coach (also known as a “spiritual life coach”), Michael helps address the root cause of people’s dilemmas by reconnecting them to their love for all beings. This is done through the mind, body, and soul connection, while achieving better overall physical, mental, and spiritual health.
