Triathlon racing as a plant-based athlete

In his first 3 years of racing triathlons (2017-2019), Jason raced in 18 triathlons which resulted in him winning his age group 13 times and even winning 4 races overall. It all started when he adopted a plant-based diet in 2009 and went from being chronically fatigued to having more energy than he knew what to do with. He now competes in triathlon races to raise awareness around plant-based eating. He believes that the best possible time to answer the question “where do you get your protein?” is when you have just won a race.

From teaching to public speaking

A lifelong musician, Jason began teaching private music lessons in 2006 and did so until 2013 when, after graduating from Humber College with a bachelor's degree in music, he moved to Thailand and taught ESL to high school students. In 2015, he transitioned to teaching ESL online and quickly became one of the most in-demand teachers for China’s largest online ESL company. In 2019, Jason was hired to develop educational materials for one of the world's largest animal rights organizations. In 2022, Jason is focused on speaking to high school and post secondary audiences about the importance of eating more plant foods, which is a critical yet often overlooked or misunderstood part of the solution to many of the most pressing issues of our time.
