I will be brief.

I was born in the Bronx.  I suffered sexual assaults as a child.  I was happily gay for 20 years.  Yet, I met a woman from Norway.  We had two children and now we live in Norway. 

Professionally: I have five university degrees and tenure in two countries.  I research Rigid Body Dynamics and have published 70 papers.

I briefly embraced the Men's Rights Movement until Andrew Tate came along, and then I saw that path as a dead end.  I regret may of my thoughts during this period, but it was who I was.

I wrote this for my daughter.

I think I am going to be happy.
