Hi – my name’s Tony. My good friend Alex has called on me to add some turbo charge to his blog. I hadn’t planned to get involved – it just happened! Truth be told, it’s probably my own fault. Originally, I had planned to concentrate on writing feature articles, such as the one I wrote recently on The Organic Answer to Climate Change. But last week I let Alex know that the Organic Guide blog was in need of a dash of pepper (and maybe a few other organic spices!) To my surprise he agreed. He asked me to start writing regularly. So, here I am.

Who am I? I’m basically just an Australian guy that loves to look after his physical, mental and spiritual health. As far as I can tell the best way of doing that is to ramp up on the organic side of life, increase your vitamin intake, minimize the nasty chemicals, get a moderate amount of exercise and practice your faith.

At the moment I live in Sydney but I also spend quite a bit of time in San Francisco, where I’m heavily involved in the music and entertainment industry.

I don’t profess to be the world’s leading expert on organic standards or anything. In fact, some of my friends might even question why I’m writing about organic living at all. You see after graduating as a Chemical Engineer from The University of Sydney I worked for a few of the big fellas (multinationals) that were churning out some of the least organic, most putrid, chemically-enhanced food products you’d ever care to look at. But no more! I’ve been on the dark side and vowed never to return. I’ve witnessed first hand just how ugly large-scale manufacturing can be. To be honest, I don’t know how I did it for the four years that I did.

I guess if you were to describe me in a nutshell you’d probably say that I was a social activist, neo-classical, anti-GMO, organic-living guy that loves music with all his heart!

By the way, if you’re wondering about the “I’m blogging here…” reference in the right hand sidebar, it wasn’t my idea. I’ve got to thank Alex for that one! Dustin Hoffman’s my favorite actor and I’ve been known to watch (and re-watch) Dustin’s movies like they’re going out of style. Marathon Man, Midnight Cowboy, and All The Presidents Men are probably the three greatest films ever made… according to me!

Ciao – Tony
