October 24th, 2008

I am happy to announce that we have a new writer on Groovy Vegetarian. His name is Jason Mick and he has been a vegetarian since the age of 5. I’m super duper excited to have him.

What Does Jason Do?

Jason is currently an editor for a hot technology blog (Daily Tech) and will contribute veggie articles here about once or twice a week.

Where Is Jason From?

He happens to reside in the most spectacularly fantabulous place on Earth, the windy City  Chicago.

Check out his mini- bio below:

Jason Mick is a news editor and columnist for the leading science and technology online publication, DailyTech. He was raised vegetarian and convinced his parents to go vegetarian at age 5, thanks to his strong love for fish. He has worked in the electronics field for such companies as Siemens VDO, Lear Corporation, and Ovonics Battery Company. He graduated with a BA in computer engineering from Oakland University and is currently in a Masters/PhD program in Chemical Engineering and Physiology at Wayne State University.

In his free time he enjoys music, backpacking the scenic Michigan outdoors, writing fiction, reading about alternative energy, and spending time with his beautiful girlfriend Megan.
