2020 - 21 MenAlive Officers are:

Mike is honored to serve the MenAlive organization.

Jim Taulli joined the board in 2019 serving as Director of Governance and has been a singing member of the chorus since 2010. Jim also served as the staging director for "I Am Harvey Milk" and is slated to stage "Unbreakable" once the chorus returns to the stage.

John Viet-Triet Hoa Nguyen is a visual artist and is currently working as a designer for Taco Bell. He has sung as a MenAlive Bass since 2016. Being a performer has been very fulfilling for John as he has always had a love for the performing arts. The ongoing fight for LGBTQ+ equality motivates him to be an active member of MenAlive.

Dan is currently a Vice President and Branch Manager for Union Bank.
