The Ogden Pride Board of Directors is committed to ensuring the organization serves the needs of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community of Northern Utah.
Meet our Board Members:
Sean | He/They
President, Festival Director
Sean is a passionate advocate, educator, designer, and writer dedicated to advancing equity and inclusion for the LGBTQ+ community. As a trailblazer in LGBTQ+ rights, he played a pivotal role in a landmark Utah Supreme Court case that expanded access to gender-marker changes for transgender Utahns.
He has been recognized with honors including the Equality Utah Allies Impact Award for Advancing Transgender Equality, as well as multiple distinctions from the International Court System, including the International Jose Julio Sarria Civil Rights Award, International Royal Order of Jose I, International Royal Order of Emperor I Greg, the Order of the Double Eagle, the Karina Samala Trans America Award, and the Outstanding Activist Award. He was also among the recipients of the 2022 Jose Honors, recognizing outstanding contributions to the International Court System.
Through his advocacy, Sean works to create safer, more affirming spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals—particularly transgender and nonbinary communities—by promoting visibility, education, and systemic change. His work centers on breaking down barriers, amplifying marginalized voices, and fostering a more just and inclusive world.

Kevin | He/Him

Born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas (Bedford to be exact) Kevin earned his sociology degree from McMurry University in Abilene in 2012. Kevin became Utah’s newest resident when he made the move to Ogden in June 2024 to live in the mountains. A proud alumnus of the service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega, he is passionate about giving back to his community and fiercely advocating for 2SLGBTQIA+ rights. A true history enthusiast, he loves diving into the past just as much as he enjoys kicking back with a good reality show – especially Survivor and when not reality – Little House on the Prairie. Tacos are his ultimate comfort food. This fall, he is eagerly looking forward to his partner joining him in Ogden as they start this next chapter together.
