One of the boys ...

I'm a goofball. I love trapeze. I've worked in tech support for 18 years, and have a second job as pastor of a new LGBTQ & Ally church called The Flame. I love my family and friends, databases, and the city of Portland. Oh. and I'm a bisexual trans guy. This is just one part of my identity. I am visible for those who can't be. This is my historical blog.
