Profile: Porcious Crank is a part-time writer and on-site correspondent for LushForLife.com. Born in the rugged American West, Crank was raised by a cattle-driving family and spent the majority of his early years caravanning across the vast American landscape. Eventually supplanting himself in Denver and adopting an ultra right-wing religious ideology, Crank worked as an in-house nurse to dying Negro AIDS patients as he continued to complete his bachelor's degree in Religion at the University of Colorado. After an LSD experience with a group of homosexual beatniks from Berkley, Crank abandoned his religious quest and became a drifter, wandering the West Coast in search of Truth and Reason. Crank currently works as a personal healer in the Chelsea suburb of Manhattan, and spends his off time in Tampa, Florida, with the LushForLife.com staff.
