Main Street Vegan Podcast, March 14th, 2018: Athletes on Plants

Filmmaker Santino Panico of FROM THE GROUND UP joins us with two of the film’s elite athletes, champion bodybuilder Torre Washington and professional soccer defender Toni Pressley.

Santino Panico, former wide-receiver for the Nebraska Huskers is the producer, writer, and director of the feature-length documentary From The Ground Up.  He made the movie while working full time and finishing his master’s degree. It took 4 1/2 years to finish and a lot of it was funded with his own money. It is safe to say that this is his passion project.

Toni grew up in Melbourne, Florida, and attended Florida State University.

Torre Washington, a lifelong vegetarian and vegan since 1998, is a professional bodybuilder, NASM-certified coach, sprinter, and animal lover.  Back then it was uncommon for a vegan to be a competitive bodybuilder, but that didn’t discourage him. Rather, it gave him more passion to pursue his dream. In 2009 Torre stepped on stage for the 1st time and placed 3rd in a tough class. This only increased his drive to become better. Within the next 6 months he competed in his 2nd show ever and not only won his class of 16 men, but also won the overall with a pro card. Throughout the recent years, Torre has placed within the top 3 with 5 different organizations and attained 4 different pro cards.
