Pride Foundation- LGBTQ Community Foundation

I’ve split my life pretty equally between small town Oregon – how small town? I didn’t live within 50 miles of a McDonald’s until I was 20 years old! – and big-city Oregon, having lived in the Portland-metro area now for the last 14 years. I can’t imagine living anywhere else, and I’ve spent the last nine years of my life working for and volunteering with nonprofits that strive to make Oregon a place where its citizens are open-minded and accepting, and treat each other with fairness, equality and respect. And when I’m not doing that, I can probably be found reading, watching movies, or shoe shopping.
