In 1983, he began to pioneer technology for pressing and packaging edible, fresh oils made with health in mind. He has appeared on nationally syndicated radio and television shows and has given thousands of media interviews and lectures, educating audiences across Canada, the United States, Europe, and Australia on the components of good health.
