I have recovered from years of dealing with Schizoaffective Disorder and also dealing with other issues in my life including: living with and dealing with the stigmas associated with my homosexuality, my disorder and living with an HIV diagnosis.

I believe these facets of my life shaped me for who I am and would be great assets in assisting those dealing with these same issues in their lives.

I volunteer at my Local Mental Health Clinic, by serving coffee to clients of the clinic. I assist mental health workers and clinicians in her wellness recovery classes and other aspects that is suited to help those in crisis and in need.

I am also a published author, as I wrote a book dealing with issues revolving around my mental health disorder, sexual identity and that books is called. My So Called, Gay Schizophrenic Life by Aaron Stickney.
