Jon-Paul is (in no particular order) gay, Lebanese, Italian, and proud. His approach to life is to come from a place of yes and has held positions across multiple industries including retail, sales, and recruitment marketing. His work to support LGBTQ+ people has been ongoing for 18 years since coming out in 2004. From volunteering with HIV/AIDS NGOs, organizing community events for LGBTQ+ youths, to building DEI programming, advising on inclusive products and services, to supporting LBGTQ+ political candidates, Jon-Paul loves to roll up his sleeves and get to work.
