A Bit About Me

Captain is the founder of SPARC (The Sex Positive Art and Recreation Centre) on the occupied territories of the Lekwungen people colonially know as Victoria, BC. Captain is a former Assistant Professor at the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco and current faculty with The Institute for Sexual Education and Enlightenment.

They hold a Master’s degree in Public Health in Human Sexuality and a Doctorate in Human Sexuality. Some of their dream jobs they have had over the years are peer counsellor, queer youth project facilitator, street outreach worker, needle exchange and harm reduction worker, gay men’s health co-ordinator and they were also a server in a high end cafeteria wearing a cream and gold tuxedo and a gold banana clip. Their work has been with communities, families, couples, and individuals and extensively with folks in non-traditional arrangements for the last 20+ years.

Their own journeys with learning disabilities, gender, queerness, causing harm and experiencing harm, privilege and oppression continue to deeply inform their ever changing practice. Captain is passionate about social justice, embodiment, earth magic and the ocean.

All of the projects and organizations they work with have scholarships please let captain know if you need any support navigating the processes or have additional accessibility requirements. They would be delighted to support and advocate for you in this way.

At present 10% of their income is committed to local indigenous land and water defence projects.
