Out at Cal

When I realized I was gay, I knew I had to live and work in an environment that would allow me to be out and proud of who I am. For that reason, I chose to come back to UC Berkeley knowing this is a community where I could thrive and excel while being myself. My spouse, Shauna, and I have been together over 12 years but we still can't marry. So after hours, I volunteer with Marriage Equality USA so eventually couples like us can. Thanks to Cal and the education and work experience this university has provided me, I know I can help make a difference both on and off campus.
