he/him

"Our search for a safe space must begin within ourselves."
-Emu 

Personal Life

​Originally from the Bay Area in California, Emu has had the pleasure of living in Louisiana, Tennessee, Texas, and now North Carolina. He has a deep love of music and has engaged in a variety of musical outlets over the years. A passionate foodie and extrovert, Emu's idea of a good time involves going out to eat with friends - pairing boisterous laughter with thought-provoking conversation. His pride and joy are his two pups, Sol (American Bulldog) and Archie (Shih Tzu), both of whom bring him stress and peace in equal measure. Sol has since passed away but lives on in Archie and Emu's memories.
