he has the world's longest bio, but the short of it in terms of his relationship with cair is they met at a local pride event in 2014 and on thing led to another. he's a fierce little bear of a man, he's also (as cair said) a glassmaker and artist. he owns his own glassworks company and they manufacture glass countertops, but he also makes handblown sink basins and light fixtures, mostly working with interior designers and the like instead of the public masses in general. he owns an art gallery named 'elephant shoes' he and cair live in the renovated warehouse space behind the gallery (in the same structure) downtown near the water front.
in a nutshell, he's a very proud, dedicated, passionate man who is a lifelong activist. and he adores cairbre enough to let him keep a venus flytrap in the fridge.
