The below article first appeared in the 12 Jun. 2016 issue of the OC Register newspaper. This article was written after I was honored with the OC Human Relations Diverse Community Leader Award in May 2016.

As long as the link is active at the OC Register site, you can also read this article online, but I have archived it here in case the link disappears, as happened with the 2008 profile, soon after I transitioned.

The online version has a total of 8 images associated with it, so you can check those out online. Six of the images are at the bottom of this page.
