I had been involved with volunteer efforts in school but stopped once I moved to Ohio. Feeling disconnected with the community, I saw on FB a request for creative individuals to help execute plans for Gay Games 9 coming to Cleveland + Akron in two and a half years. I always loathed groups in college where I carried most of the weight so I said I’ll just check it out; there was so much professionalism and enthusiasm at my first meeting, I knew I found a team I wanted to be a part of.
