My name is Trae Dorn, and this is my life. I'm just your average forty-something genderqueer nonbinary Wiccan witch with a compulsion to keep making stuff and putting it out into the world. I primarily use they/them pronouns, and I'm generally pretty tired.
 I was born in the Chicago area, raised in the Milwaukee suburbs, and have spent most of my adult life in Eau Claire, WI where I live with my wife -- though there was a seven year period where we lived in Lafayette, IN in the middle too.
If people know who I am, it's for a a handful of reasons.
These days it's usually for my witchcraft podcast BS-Free Witchcraft. I've been a practicing solitary eclectic Wiccan for over twenty-five years, and I come from things with a focus on critical thinking I think is missing from large parts of the modern witchcraft community and witchcraft media.
That's far from my only podcast though, as I produce I number of shows for the Nerd & Tie Network, which I own and co-founded with some friends back in 2013. Besides BS-Free Witchcraft, I currently appear on Stormwood & Associates, The Meatgrinder, On This Day With Trae, and The Nerd & Tie Podcast. And yes, I am the person Ryan Kopf tried to unsuccessfully sue twice.
I also write stuff. Currently I'm releasing a series of queer contemporary fantasy novels called the Mia Graves books. I also write the webcomic Peregrine Lake (with art by Ethan Flanagan), which is the follow up to my now completed comic UnCONventional which ran for ten years. I also wrote and drew the comic The Chronicles of Crosarth, though that's been on hiatus for a couple of years for a number of reasons.
I'll come back to it. Eventually.
 Sometimes I make music. I used to be in a band called Happy Wednesday, and then for a while I was putting out stuff as "Lt. Snorkel." I've kind of slowed down on that front, though occasionally a new track pops up on my Soundcloud account.
I have a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire, where I majored in Political Science (with a minor in Web Development and Design). I don't actually use said degree ever, but it's always nice to have a piece of paper. I currently telecommute for a fairly large corporation, but you'll never see me name it on my site... because I have strong opinions, and they may not want to be associated with them.
I'm a Democrat, relatively tall, a bit overweight, usually have a beard, and my hair is thinning in the back. That's pretty much the whole story.
