I got in touch with PETA and Vegan Outreach.

And I started, I became an activist when I was 15.

I turned totally vegan when I was 15. was running campaigns at that young of an age.

Back in 2012, he gave me a phone call and said, He was already a friend of mine, somebody I had volunteered with, and he told me, hey, John, there's a job at Vegan Outreach, and I want you to do it.

And that was my introduction into full-time animal advocacy, and he is just – truly the best.
