I cannot be put in a bucket. Born between the end of the millenial era and the early Gen-Z, I grew up on the east coast but moved many times.
With my IQ clinically tested at age 14 as 139, I have a mind that thinks in systems. I like to explore and investigate things with everlasting curiosity.
When I was less than a year old, i managed to escape my crib, finding my parents watching TV and exclaiming “I got out!”
I’ve worked as an engineer, an entrepreneur, a locksmith, a marketer, a builder and a property manager and travelled to every continent with the exception (for now) of South America.
I was interested in donating sperm since my late teens when I discovered https://coparent.co.uk and realized this tremendous capability. I then continued to donate through JAB and donor groups on Facebook which offer a supportive community and helpful information.
When I think about how hard we try to preserve our bodies through medical procedures and efforts; they pale in comparison to reproduction which is almost immortality. An injured knee can never be repaired into something better than a zygote can form: a brand new healthy baby.
Initially, I was concerned that I might not have children of my own by choice but might someday meet the fruit of my donations as they enter adulthood, should they come find me.
Now, I plan to raise my own children through a traditional relationship of even coparenting and I still donate as it costs me so little to help mothers-to-be create something bigger and more promising than ourselves.
F.A.Q.
Aside from building a strong network with the donor community including the founders of JAB, CoParent.com and the Facebook Groups, a few side-projects i’ve launched are below.
DonorMapping is is a simple geographic tool that uses a google form to collect Donor/Recipient information and puts them on an easy-to-read map for finding the nearest available matches.

EggExchange is a future program in collaboration with a Fertility Clinic in California which offers free egg/embryo freezing to young women in exchange for donating some of their extracted eggs for use by older or infertile patients who cover the cost of the program.
In a nutshell, this helps those with funding meet those with the eggs and enables in more future children for everyone.
