"I'm a vegan -- you're not. But if your chicken's burning, I'll flip it on the grill." --Chris Bornstein

Pedaling For Peace

"I grew up in Lancaster, PA, joined the Navy and ended up on an aircraft carrier doing intelligence work in Japan, got married to my first wife in the Czech Republic, sold health club memberships (got to hang out with Magic Johnson almost everyday for a few months :)), started a screenplay competition, made a million in real estate and let it go in my second divorce, was a lifeguard in Australia at a waterpark in Ballarat, promoted nightclubs in LA and Miami and got to accept "Best Nightclub in the US" award for Spundae, was a chef at a Cuban/Hebrew catering, studied Kung Fu, Chinese medicine and perma-culture farming/landscaping in Hawaii for the last 4.5 years. In the 35 years of my life, I've done my very best to map out who I am by doing as many things as possible, but now I want to do my part to save humanity. I am currently riding my bicycle around the world to promote peace and environmental awareness. I'm doing my very best to be the change I wish to see in the world." Such is how the journey of Chris Bornstein starts.
