Lisa McComsey

An award-winning copywriter, Lisa McComsey has written for a variety of publications, including Vogue, Allure, People, Life, Real Simple, Vanity Fair, Bon Appétit, InStyle, GQ, Condé Nast Traveler, and the New York Times.

She cultivated a love for rice and beans while living in Costa Rica and Baja, Mexico, during a three-year volunteer teaching stint--giving her a taste of what was to come when she reluctantly decided to go vegan in 2009 for "one month." Much to her surprise, she fell in love with this way of eating. She has since added fish to her otherwise plant-based diet and has come to embrace the seagan (seafood + vegan) lifestyle.

An avid bicyclist and runner, Lisa has completed twenty-five marathons, several century rides, and a handful of triathlons.
