Craig McCormack, Marketing

I came across HappyCow in 2001/2002 when I decided to spend some time traveling. I was vegetarian (turned fully vegan 10-11yrs later) at the time and the thought of heading into unknown areas made me start searching for help online. I came across HappyCow and I was hooked. I remember initially not being member and just printing reams of paper listings and maps to help me. After I returned I became a member, it felt only right to help others as HappyCow had helped me so much. I still have a passion for travel and can also be found climbing a munro here in Scotland as well trying to stay young by going to as many gigs as possible.

Devon Mathias, Content Editor

I've been vegetarian since 1998 and a whole food plant based vegan since 2017 after meeting my now husband and haven't looked back since. I have a passion for healing through whole foods, cooking, nutrition and health. I came across HappyCow in 2008 as a vegetarian, made an account in 2020 when spending months traveling and am currently an ambassador for Lancaster, Pennsylvania. When I'm not editing I spend my time locally selling vegan meal prep, recipe developing, camping and embroidery.

Erika Gietz, Senior Content Editor / Communications

I've been vegan since 2014 after watching a few eye-opening documentaries and ever since I've been extremely passionate about veganism, nutrition and animal rights. I spend as much time as I can travelling the world, baking vegan goodies and learning about earth and animal conservation. I came across HappyCow as a vegetarian in 2012 and have been a dedicated user ever since. I'm thrilled to now have the opportunity to work with HappyCow and help us grow along with the vegan movement.

Luca became vegan at the end of 2016, inspired by a terrific experience travelling through Spain on the path to Santiago de Compostela. He started his career in mobile programming in 2010 after finishing a postgraduate course in mobile computing. He worked for several companies in London after finally moving to Barcelona where he currently lives with his inseparable dog Nuk :). He firmly believes the world will be vegan one day.
