community and corporate education leader in Milwaukee

Bio

Professionally, Vince is an instructional design manager devoted to driving behavioral change through meaningful learning experiences, specializing in complex software systems. Vince was named among the 2021 Top 25 Emerging Training Leaders by Training magazine.

A double-alum of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Vince holds a master’s degree in administrative leadership and a bachelor’s degree in middle and high school education. In 2011 he received the Distinguished Service Award from the UWM LGBT Resource Center for campus and system-level diversity leadership.

Vince knows the power of volunteerism: he’s an Eagle Scout, provides HIV counseling at a free clinic, and trains adult leaders of non-profit youth programs. He’s spoken at universities across the country (and at Google’s New York HQ) on queerness in the media and how LGBTQ people can cultivate career success.

As Director of Education & Outreach for Milwaukee Pride, the organization that puts on PrideFest, Vince programs and organizes engaging participatory community education presentations and events on LGBTQ+ history, culture, and advocacy; and develops the vision, strategy, and operations for public history exhibits. In 2023, the Wisconsin Chamber of Commerce named Vince Advocate of the Year.
