I was in a doctoral program and published a few academic essays in the then-emerging field of LGBTQ+ studies, as well as in feminist pedagogy and popular culture. The bulk of my writing since–outside of staff positions in communications in higher education and the nonprofit sector–has been for a lay audience, focussing on LGBTQ+ and genderqueer parenthood.
I published a blog, Lesbian Dad, from around 2006 to the early twenty-teens. The blog's title came from my essay "Confessions of a Lesbian Dad," which appeared in the Lambda Literary Award-nominated anthology Confessions of the Other Mother (Beacon, 2006).

As a freelance editor, I've worked on multiple book-length projects, including several doctoral dissertations which went on to be published, one by Routledge, in Jewish Studies, and another by Duke University Press in Cultural Geography. I've also edited a memoir by a prominent Buddhist scholar and environmental activist.
I work now as a writer for the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation of Northern California.
