Gerry Nelms – Chairman

66 Years old/came out 2021

Originally from Smyrna, GA I moved to the Savannah area at the end of the summer of 2018.  I live in the outskirts of Savannah with my Welsh Corgi named MacKenna (Mac for short).  I have managed companies in my past, owned my own businesses and have now returned to teaching high school.  I was married for 42 years and finally realized that I had to be true to myself.  I have one grown son that is married to my wonderful daughter-in-law and they have two perfect  grandchildren and one granddog.  My other son has a wonderful partner and they have two granddogs.

Mick Fossett – Secretary

45 years old/came out 2000

Originally from Douglas, Coffee County Georgia, Nick moved to Savannah three years ago after changing careers and to be closer to my family. For about 15 years I was a family therapist working for various non-profit agencies, counseling centers in Macon and Atlanta Ga and Eugene and Portland Oregon. I have worked in logistics for the past few years. I came out in college at Valdosta State University once I realized many of my friends were affirming. In my personal time I enjoy, cooking, thrift store shopping, riding bike trails and being around friends.
