Eating a plant-based diet is not only good for the planet and the animals, but it is also great for athletes and anyone who wants to build muscle. In VEGAN STRONG – THE PRESENTATION, Bill Muir will talk about his vegan journey from being a vegan punk rock kid in the Philly suburbs in the early 90s, to a vegan combat medic deployed to Afghanistan, to working in healthcare as a vegan RN through the pandemic.
Hope to see you there!
Bill Muir, RN (Sgt. Vegan) left a cushy job teaching English in Japan after 9/11 to join the Army. Despite being afraid of heights, he became a paratrooper, and served with the 173rd Airborne Brigade in Afghanistan as a Combat Medic. A vegan since 1992, Bill adhered to his plant-fueled diet throughout his rigorous Army training and deployment. Honorably Discharged from the Armed Services, Bill earned a Certificate in Vegan Culinary Arts from Atlantic Union College and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Drexel University, and authored the book VEGAN STRONG.
