“Howdy! I’m Mick (they/them) and I’m delighted to be joining the Queer AF organizing team. With Tirzah’s support, I am taking over NearlyWed Coaching and will continue offering local officiating services. At Queer AF, I’ll be working on graphic design, social media/marketing, and whatever the heck else we need. On an average day, you can catch me painting, dancing, cooking, writing poems, getting overly competitive at board games, and watching my neighborhood birds. Let’s get this party started. Cheers!”
