This website/newsletter functions as an experimental memoir from the perspective of a male survivor of childhood abuse and sexual trauma.
This site used to include a mix of my writing, art, and music (noise), but I recently decided it will only include my writing. I've got a bunch of other websites, which are listed here.
The content here is all public and all free. A subscription isn't necessary but it gets you my shit in your email inbox and it allows you to comment on my posts. I don't post frequently, and I certainly will never share your info with anybody.
MenHealing
I work with MenHealing, a non-profit organization that provides healing resources for men who have experienced sexual harm during childhood and/or as adults. MenHealing also provides resources for loved ones and allies of men who are survivors of sexual harm.
Background
I was born outside of Boston in 1959, and then lived in Falmouth, MA until 1980. I lived in Oakland, CA through 1987, then Atlanta, GA until 1999, and am happy to be back in Oakland.
My early career was in theatre, having worked as a lighting designer, technical director, and performer. I began acting as a teenager with The Woods Hole Community Theatre. My professional career included stints with The San Francisco Mime Troupe, Seven Stages, and CORE Dance, among many others.
I teach a Bikram Yoga class most Saturday mornings at Bikram Yoga Oakland. I have three yoga certifications: Bikram Yoga, Tony Sanchez Yoga Academy, and Ghosh Yoga Calcutta. From 2002 to 2018, I owned and managed Still Hot Yoga in Atlanta, GA.
