I was born November 5, 1971 in San Antonio, Texas.
I graduated top ten in my high school class at James Madison High School in San Antonio and had applied to West Point - even as far as getting a letter from Lamar Smith to attend. At the end of the day, due to closeness to a high school sweetheart, scholarships, and refusal to attend a "prep academy" I attended college at Texas A&M University. My Bachelor of Art degree is in Chemistry with a minor in curriculum and instruction.
Since 1990 I have worked in the Radio/Television industry. For the past several years though I have been looking for something more fitting to my soul. In my own time I have spent considerable energy and talent in grassroots advocacy specific to civil rights for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender individuals.
As a Male-to-Female transsexual I have educated Human Sexuality courses, local organizations, peers, etc about transgender issues - specifically transsexuality and the vibrant history of gender diverse people. This being done of course in one of the most conservative areas of the nation
What do I hope to do in the future? In the next few years I see myself going back to graduate school to combine interests in Education, Public Policy, Non Profit Studies, and Gender and Sexuality in an impressive skill set to continue the grassroots advocacy I have engaged in as a full time career either here in Texas, or in Washington, D.C. for one of the GLBT rights organizations.
