The Writing

Memoir &
Cultural History


My nonfiction explores the intersection of personal experience and cultural change—particularly the ways family, entrepreneurship, advocacy, and ordinary human choices contribute to larger shifts in American life.

I draw on more than twenty-five years as a co-founder of RainbowWeddingNetwork and as an active participant in the changing cultural landscape surrounding LGBTQ+ equality.

On Submission

In this memoir, I trace the founding of RainbowWeddingNetwork alongside the life Cindy and I were building as a family. Through twenty-five years of entrepreneurship and more than 365 wedding expos across America, amid shifting public attitudes and the long struggle for legal equality, the book explores how a business both responded to a cultural transformation and helped bring it about—one couple, one vendor, and one changed mind at a time.
