I am a photographer who happens to be genderfluid and pansexual. My first careers included nearly a decade in the Army as a physical therapist, followed by a season as a park ranger on one of Alaska's national wildlife refuges. On my first drive from Alaska back to my home base in Virginia, I started brainstorming this project that combined my love of photography, love of road tripping, and a desire to be more involved in social advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community. I love engaging the creative intersections between photography, writing and the art of thoughtful conversations.
