261: Tommy Whitehead – Living Out And Proud In Your Industry

Being out and proud is one of the most freeing and liberating
experiences a gay man can experience. But, what if you work in a
heteronormative, uber masculine industry like construction? How out
can you be? Well today's guest says, "As out as you choose to be!"
Tommy Whitehead is a licensed contractor and runs his own
construction company - as a gay man, gay dad, and husband - and
he's doing just fine in this masculine dominated industry. Listen
to how he does it. About Tommy
