Jackson

Taitano

Actor/Dancer/Singer

I am a California Native, growing up in San Diego and later relocating to Northern California for higher education. As the oldest fo three in a mixed family, I was the experiment child. I was placed in all kinds of sports (ex. Soccer, Baseball, Tennis) learned ton of different disciplines (ex. Taekwando, Floor Gymastics) and music classes (ex. Piano, Ukulele)

Finding my identity was inspired by my work in theatre. I began to understand my gender expression, who and how I desired to love, and my relationship with my heritage. My family is from Guam and whenever I talk to anyone about that, the usually response is, “Where is that again?” I felt like not white enough for white people and not brown enough for the brown kids, even in family settings.

I found a home amongst the theatre community and also the Dungeons and Dragons community. I learned how to design worlds, brings characters to life, and think on my feet. Amongst my friends, I’m a bit of the “Perma-Game Masters” so I am excited when ANYONE else wants to run a game so I can just back, indulge in the world, and spend quality time with friends.
