  • Children? I have three kids in a blended family. 
  • My family-building journey: My son Austin was born during my prior marriage, has two moms. We used an anonymous sperm donor and worked with a fertility clinic. My wife had twins through intentional co-parenting. We co-parent Ella and Vaughn, along side their two dads.
  • Parenting advice: Your kids will be exactly who they are meant to be and, as parents, you will need to roll with it and learn how to support them in becoming their best selves.
