River is a transman in his early 50s, who moved to Seattle from the Midwest to transition in the mid-90s. Through the support and care of other transmen during his coming of age as a young transman, he learned that there were so many possibilities than he had imagined for how to be a transman in this world. He is currently a college professor, something he never dreamed possible for himself before he encountered other successful transmen.  He is very engaged in mentoring, advocacy, and care for his beloved community, and aimes to give back all of that support he received.
