This was my first ever AGA, I have been involved with the Gay Games since my first games which was the 2010 Gay Games in Cologne, Germany. From that point I was hooked, the experience was absolutely wonderful and it was hard to imagine that such a big event could be one of the best kept LGBT secrets. I also attended the 2014 Gay Games in Cleveland, Ohio and found it to be equally an amazing experience. However I was a bit frustrated, that our representation of the contingent from Colorado seemed to be lacking, there wasn’t much support for the athletes or any kind of cohesiveness under the wing of our “City/State Team” Team Colorado. I of course had all these grand ideas and visions of what Colorado and all our athletes could potentially be at the 2018 Gay Games in Paris, France. So I decided to get involved and am now helping to lead Team Colorado to be one of the biggest and most united contingents at the 2018 Gay Games.
