Pleasure to meet you, and thank you for taking time to meet the all-volunteer team that puts HOOK in front of you and thousands of other users each month. If you are interested in becoming part of the HOOK, please read about our available volunteer positions.

Program Director/Founder: Hawk Kinkaid

This former cornfed Midwesterner retired from a career as escort, bodyworker, and Internet porn model and now hustles as a freelance contractor in addition to directing the HOOK program from Rome, where he lives with his boyfriend. Hawk is also an award-winning designer, published writer, poetry editor for suspect thoughts, burgeoning professional photographer, and taking his first ever drawing classes while also sporting several years in the social services industry as an Outreach Specialist and Program Coordinator.

Managing Editor: Daniel Lee

Daniel Lee is a saucy, and relatively sexless media whore/“darling” of the paparazzi/soul sistah/funbun/Scorpio/writer/Viking/artist/dance machine/Original Ancient Chinese Secret. He is also very single and may die terribly (but not bitterly) alone.
