ABOUT OUR PUBLISHER

I am proud to be a part of a collective unique minority. When you grow up in a small town (where everyone knows your name) as I did you automatically assume there is no one else like you in the World.

My passion is to be someone who gets results for people; whether it has been through coaching, playing sports, personal training, helping an independent retailer grow their business and get the results they are looking for.  My career in that light began when I was 9 years old, selling Christmas cards door to door.  I was a success.  My expertise is working to assure that small to medium size businesses get the results they are looking for.  This has been my passion for the past 20 years.  I always believed that the best way to grow a business is to get your name out there and the best way to do that is through advertising.  My 20 years of experience in the Yellow Page & Magazine advertising industry has given me the vehicle to exercise my passion.  The “right” ad can put a business over the top.

Growing up in a town of 2,000 and being gay was not an easy thing to do, but it made me realize how important a Directory like mine is.  Now, I’m here for you!

It is my hope that this directory will give us a road map to learning, showing we can get involved in “Our Community” and especially become a voice on issues that most affect us. We can volunteer. We can call our Congress representing our districts and give them our opinions.  We can call our Senators, Governor’s office and even our President. We can use our buying power to shop with businesses that support us and Our Rights to be Equal.

Knowledge is Power and Exposure Quells Myths. “We are “Out of the Closet!” This directory in a small but powerful way shows who we are without reservation or restriction. We are Business Professionals, Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers, Parents. We are as concerned about our Neighborhoods, Schools, The Economy, Peace in our time, The Environment, Education, Health Care, Jobs, and Safety as every other citizen in this country.
