About Me

I began to celebrate my gayness in my mid-30s, after experiencing an unplanned period of transition. During this beautiful yet challenging (read: very difficult!) time, I discovered the teachings of New Thought, which empowered me to view my journey as divine and perfect. I lead the Gay Men’s Spirituality Group based out of Unity San Francisco, where I'm the chief operating officer and in training to become a minister. As a speaker on gay men’s issues with a master's degree in public health and bachelor's of social work, I've gotten to speak and write about a diversity of topics like rejection, creativity, substance use, and mental health. My first book, about how gay men can heal themselves and the world through the power of celebration, will be completed soon.
