In both my personal and professional life as a physician, I’ve been working with the LGBTQIA+ community for more than fifteen years. Notably, I served on the board of Doorways, a housing and healthcare service for people living with HIV/AIDS, from 2010-2020, was Chairperson of the Board for four years, and was granted the Michael Edlin Award from that organization in 2020. I’ve led numerous LGBTQ+ focused initiatives and associate resource groups in my time working in hospitals and private industry. I’m also active in the St. Louis Sex Positive community, and my practice is affirming for a wide range of lifestyle choices. We offer PrEP, discrete STI screening, and affirmation for those with unique relationship circumstances. Truth is, I’m still learning a lot, every day. I’m a cisgender straight man, and my lived experience doesn’t reflect that of the patients I serve. But I listen to my patients and learn a lot from them, and try every day to do a little bit better job supporting this community which I love.
