42 Years Old. A new chapter, a new year. About 20 years ago, I took a Chinese Philosophy course that changed my world, changed my perspective. I was in a deep functional depression, felt trapped, felt used and broken, and felt very lost. It was this literature that pulled me out and not only supported me in gaining a new perspective and direction...but also redirected my light to those who were wanting and willing to accept it for what it was...for who I was.

I surely ain't perfect, I am surely still learning, and I am still on this healing journey. However, I have been able to find and continue to find my peeps. Thank you for the birthday wishes. Love you

Two years ago I moved back to Kingston with my wife . That first summer, I met someone named Hill from . Dozens of conversations, dozens of hugs, hundreds of buttons, hundreds of HHNHH posters, sharing the good and rough times, oh, and a photo shoot later...here we are.

Thank you for making this custom piece.
It means a lot to me and my clients.

June is Pride Month.
2SLGBTQIA+

Be seen. Be heard. Be Authentically YOU!

You are worthy of love and acceptance exactly as you are. NEVER let anyone dim your light.

Your identity is a strength, your resilience is awe-inspiring, and your voice has the power to change your corner of the world.

There is a whole community cheering you on; you are never alone on this journey.

Happy Easter / Happy Long Weekend.
I just needed to realign, get my mind into nature, and take a moment to breathe.

The sky was blue, the wind was crisp, and the ground was welcoming. XOXO

I need to change my focus for the rest of the year.
