I'm cis-male and use the pronouns he/him/his.
I currently manage the Service Department for all Montgomery's locations in Eastern South Dakota and also sit as Vice President for Sioux Empire Pride Sports Association. I also have a child who is accepting and involved in LGBTQIA and 2-Spirit events throughout the community. I strive to bring new and exciting ideas, events, and activities to Sioux Falls Pride.

I’m nonbinary, and use they/them pronouns.
I joined the Sioux Falls Pride team in 2018 after working for the organization as an intern for my Spring semester in the Journalism program at Augustana University. I find the most joy working with local businesses and other organizations to keep Sioux Falls Pride engaged in our community and intersectional in our advocacy for the LGBTQA+ and Two-Spirit Community.
