I'm a bookseller, nonprofit entrepreneur and artist in Cleveland, Ohio. I write and perform locally and nationally, and work with community organizations that promote economic and cultural development. 
​
I love slam poetry, vintage fashion, and photography. I spend my spare time creating art and relaxing with my tiny dog, Cha Cha, the bookstore's Proprietress.

Weddings

I've been officiating weddings and celebrating funerals since 2001. I celebrated Ohio's first socially distanced wedding in March 2020, and this "queerentine brides" wedding that was featured in the New York Times in August 2020. Here are my thoughts on weddings and civil disobedience; you can book an appointment for a phone interview if you think we would be a good fit.
