More DescriptionI am a proud and strong gay man! I am unapologetically me. I have an amazing partner, an awesome daughter, and I am blessed with a happy and beautiful life... now. This has not always been the case; life has not always been so picturesque. It has been a long and winding road to self-acceptance.

This path has been filled with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. I was deeply closeted and depressed, I was filled with guilt and shame, and I felt that I could not be my true self.
