Ernie is a Dallas native and father of the two most amazing girls on earth (as well as to the sweetest pup ever, Stitch, a regular at Woody's post kickball). He runs a digital marketing agency and an in-home caregiver company. Ernie came out late in life and is grateful to have found his new community in Born; he's eager to help others do the same. When not playing (or 'falling' as his teammates call it) on the kickball field, he loves yoga, volunteering and drinking, though never all at the same time.
