About Me

I’m on the front line of the gay rights campaign in Maine, fighting for marriage equality. I also bartend at a small town gay bar. Aside from work, I paint, teach and practice yoga, lay on the beach, read books by grumpy old men, hoola hoop, eat all kinds of sushi, and chill with my very big crazy Mediterranean family .
