I am a gay man living in Brooklyn. I am an avid softball player and knitter and artist. I try to keep a balance between my career and being creative. My career seems to win. I fear the potential realities of retirement.

I am a Special education teacher. I believe in developing the next generation of citizens to be informed on all subjects. I think we need to do a lot of work to remind people how to act regarding other people. I believe we have entered into a place in society where human beings no longer factor into interpersonal interactions.
