About

Morgan

Co-founder, Data Collection & Management

Morgan has been in Colorado Springs since 2013 and started the transition to a plant-based lifestyle in 2020. She had already eliminated dairy and eggs from her diet a few years prior and started only eating meat a few times a week. After a few months, she decided to eliminate it completely and made the switch to fully plant based eating. Her philosophy is not about being a perfect vegan, but about making as many plant-based choices as possible to eliminate her impact on the world. She is an avid outdoor enthusiast who runs ultramarathons, mountain bikes, hikes, snowboards, and gets outside as much as possible. Usually you will find her on the trails with her two pups Lana, a treeing walker coonhound mix, and Nova, a siberian husky, or drinking a beer at Fossil Craft Beer Co. Her favorite restaurant in the area is Bambino’s because she can load as many toppings on the pizza as it can fit and top it with pistachios!

Elise

Co-founder, Website Design & Development

Elise transitioned to the vegan lifestlye after watching The Engine 2 Diet in 2012 (although it took her a few tries to eliminate cheese). Years later, and a degree in animal behavior later, it became less about the health benefits and more about the animals when she learned about the atrocities committed by the animal industry. Elise moved to Colorado Springs from Austin in 2016. Since then, she has run a successful dog walking and pet sitting business. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, gaming on her PC, and looking for delicious vegan food in the Springs.
