    OUTGOING PRESIDENT
    With a unique academic background in administration, music and botanical medicine, heading a socially-conscious kombucha company was practically Simon’s calling. He arrived at RISE with the objective of delivering 'real' food for thought with a drink that makes you think about how we affect the world and ourselves with what we consume.

A living foods chef, nutrition expert and shiatsu therapist, he refined his culinary passions as well as his approaches to healthy living during the many years he spent traveling the world. Currently the President of Crudessence and VP of RISE, his lectures on healthy living are like inspirational TED talks that have the raw food world's equivalent to groupies.
