Hey, thanks for stopping by!
Here's a quick snippet of my life to catch you up: I'm an author, actor, and producer who co-founded the I AM Love Campaign and currently serves on the Board for Bay Area American Indian Two-Spirits (BAAITS) in San Francisco.
A little more backstory: After a decade-long adventure traveling the world to international acclaim playing the title role in Terrence McNally's Gay Passion Play CORPUS CHRISTI, I co-wrote, produced, and directed a feature film documenting our journey, and co-founded the I AM Love Campaign. I learned A TON to say the least--you can read about my adventures here--but to sum it up: when you're walking through throngs of protesters hurling obscenities at you, one thing I know for sure: self-love is the greatest invincibility cloak you could ever learn to wear.

My journey to becoming a writer (and the various inspirations behind creating Ziggy, Stardust & Me), is further explored in this School Library Journal interview.
