His plant-based journey began as a simple experiment but became much more–not only a passion but an opportunity to help drive positive change in the world.

With every notch in a company’s growth, there’s an individual in the office with a whole lot of spreadsheets, and a few more gray hairs…or no hair at all! At No Evil Foods, that person is Mike Woliansky, our wizard behind the curtain. Before the days of Plant Meat, Mike had a career in music, including performing and tour/band management from dirty basements to 10,000 seat arenas–screaming all along the way. It was here that he learned resourcefulness in the face of great odds against success, and experienced nearly every aspect of entrepreneurship and business management imaginable. He also spent time as a freelance writer, and cut his teeth in the food world at four-star restaurants like The Dining Room at the Inn on Biltmore Estate.
Mike graduated from Penn State University with a BA in English and a Minor in Business.
