Growing up in one of the poorest counties in Appalachia ⛰️, as a working class queer kid deep in coal country, I know what it's like to feel like you don't fit in.

I'm always on the prowl for a creative collaboration but I caution you that it'll be hard to top the highlight of my career: judging a drag competition at the legendary Darcelle XV Showplace in Portland, Oregon in the presence of the world's oldest drag queen, the late Darcelle herself. It was ✨ 10s, 10s, 10s across the board. ✨

Previously based in the Pacific Northwest, I was the Portland travel writer for The Washington Post, covering its distinct neighborhoods and culture. I was also a contributor to VICE's LGBTQ+ section, where my long-form reporting was named Best of 2017. My VICE coverage of queer dating app discrimination was influential in leading to key UX reforms.
Working across both the US ☕ and the UK 🫖, I've honed my skills as a creative leader, head editor, and copywriter 🧑🏼💻. (I could say “I was previously head editor at one of the Pacific Northwest’s top media companies, MEDIAmerica; head of content at Good On You; project lead at SPJ award-winning Oregon Business; and co-founder of a now-defunct underground culture platform, Limbo Studio.” Or we could connect on LinkedIn and cringe at corporate memes featuring things some CEO's 7-year-old absolutely did not say.)

I must have a thing for rainy climes — before relocating to London in 2021, I spent nearly a decade in Portland, Oregon, where I consulted with national brands and agencies from Airbnb to Adidas (and where, as I later wrote for Condé Nast Traveler, I failed to find enough synonyms for blue to accurately describe Crater Lake 🏞️).

And long before all that, I was a queer nonbinary kid wandering around the Appalachian Mountains, from where I come — making music with mandolins and synthesizers, writing poems and stories, and trying to find some truth.

Growing up in one of the poorest counties in Appalachia ⛰️, as a working class queer kid deep in coal country, I know what it's like to feel like you don't fit in. And yeah, I was truthfully thrifting before it was cool and, of course, was driving a four-wheeler before a car. (I did, however, drop out of motorcycle school, which meant I've not yet achieved my dream of starting a bike gang named Queer Power 🏳️🌈 🏍️.)
If you ask me where I'm from, I'll usually say "Appalachia," by which I mean I came of age as a queer nonbinary kid in coal country, by which I mean I worked at a gas station and an Appalachian art center and used to play in "experimental" bands and perform in friends' basements and galleries. Growing up in one of the poorest counties in the country, I was truthfully thrifting before it was cool, and, yes, I know how to drive a four-wheeler. (I did, however, drop out of motorcycle school, which meant I've not yet achieved my dream of starting a bike gang named Queer Power.)
