Teach, Learn, Share

My background is in Political Science (Social Policy and Community Development) and Social Work - but beyond that, I have 8 years of experience of raising a child as a single gay man. This is much more interesting than what I have learned through my formal eduction. Am incredibly curious about people and their cultures, and look forward to both learning and sharing.
