Biography

“Being a bystander to suffering is not an option,” is my motto. I’m in my 24th year as a full time philanthropist and have committed to contributing in excess of 85% of my wealth to charitable projects during my lifetime, and the remainder soon thereafter.

My primary philanthropic focus is on ending factory farming and moving the world to plant based diets and vegan lifestyles. To that end, my foundation assists and funds approximately 150 organizations throughout the world, and our annual grantmaking is currently in the $6 - $7 million dollar range.

I am also an executive producer of several documentary films including Seaspiracy, The Game Changers, What The Health, Cowspiracy, Slay and others.
