Ted (he/him) grew up in northwestern Pennsylvania and traveled to Boise for the first time on the train in 1977 to visit his sister and her family. Ted traveled to Boise many times after, for graduations and other family events. He eventually moved to Boise in 2016 and purchased a home in 2020. He discovered TCC while taking a class that required an internship in order to learn about other organizations in the community. With the help of the board members he was able to complete the internship that is a part of his doctoral degree in organizational leadership. Ted has been working open hours one Saturday a month and looks forward to supporting the LGBTQIA+ community through TCC. He and his husband enjoy hosting family and friends as well as connecting with the arts community.
