I'm Austin, but you can call me Daddy. I am one of the founders here at Galactic Gaylords and the visionary behind the project.
‍
When I first got into the NFT space, I have to admit, I was skeptical. But the more I delved into it, the more I saw its potential to revolutionize not just art, but also community. What I loved most was connecting with people and communities who shared my interests. So when I stumbled upon a Dad-driven NFT project, I quickly made some amazing friendships which was especially powerful for me as I had just become a father.
‍
After that, I was hooked, and I was desperate for a community that spoke towards my queer identity, but I couldn't find one. What I did find, was a severe lack of diversity and inclusion.
‍
I'm someone who personally connects with the NFTs I own, so this was a problem.
‍
That's where the idea of Galactic Gaylords was born. My vision was to bring together diverse individuals in Web3 and create a safe space for us all to come together, share our experiences, learn from each other, and make lasting connections. As we continue to grow into a thriving community, I am excited for what the future holds for Galactic Gaylords and the NFT space as a whole.

A little bit more about me, I'm a gay dad blogger, a happy husband, and recently my own boss. I own and operate my own ecommerce business and I'm a registered inventor with a patent to my name. Before that, I was a mechanical engineer for nine years. But now, I'm all in on Web3 and not looking back.

I’m still striving to grow a mustache to achieve ultimate dadness and I believe in giving more than we take and being optimistic about the future.

Bonjour! I'm JF, the other founder of Galactic Gaylords and the creative directors and lead artist for the project.

I'm the creative director at Moment Factory, Canada's most renowned, and one of the world’s leading multimedia production companies. We specializes in immersive environment development and creation. Think BAYC parties, that's what we do.

Moment Factory has collaborated with some of the most famous musicians (Nine Inch Nail, Muse, Ed Sheeran, Billie Eilish & Madonna), and i'm excited to bring these highly refined skills to Web3.

I lead several highly prominent interactive art projects that are beginning to connect the gap between real and digital. Every day, I work with a team of developers communicating technical limitations while also pushing the artistic envelope.

All that aside, what matters the most to me is that I'm a queer artist, and It’s always been important to me to represent my connection to the queer community through my art.

Hello! I'm Isaac Dayley, and I'm the Community Manager of Galactic Gaylords.

I found NFTs through the crypto space, and it was there that I discovered the community I want to be a part of. Working in finance, I wanted to understand digital assets—and it was there that I stumbled upon an authentic community for me to connect with others. Web3 caught me by surprise, and I immediately saw its potential to bring more people together in a more authentic way, and give them more support.

The more I interacted with genuine people in the space, the more it felt like they were meant to be here—and once I met Austin and started spending more time with Galactic Gaylords, it was clear this would be my home base in Web3.

I'm so grateful for what we are building here at Galactic Gaylords—and for those genuine relationships being built between all of us!

My professional background is fairly diverse, ranging from finance to theatre production & event direction. For the past 8 years, though, I have owned my own financial planning practice—and now my passion for helping others is translating into my new role here at Galactic Gaylords!

Teresa (aka TsaBug) is the head writer on the Galactic Gaylords team.

I’m an award-winning playwright and composer, and I’m super excited to transition those skills into this new and exciting Web3 space. Plus - gay superheroes in space?? That’s the dream.

I consider myself a loud-ass queer – telling stories about LGBTQIA+ characters, creating as many opportunities as possible for fellow queer artists, and taking every opportunity I can to throw rainbows and glitter off my rooftop.

My wife and I live in NYC with two black kitties, surrounded by crystals, incense smoke, and all the original art we can fit into our apartment. I love my chosen family, making cocktails, spooky videos, and cheese.
