Jeff Delmay (he/him) is a first-generation Caribbean-American who runs a hospitality business and lives in Hollywood, Florida, with his husband Todd and their 13-year-old son Blake. He is the proud gay son of a Jamaican-born mother and Dominican-born father.

In 2014, Jeff and his husband were one of the six plaintiff couples, along with Equality Florida, who sued for the right to marry in the State of Florida and won! A year later, Jeff and his husband and another same-sex couple became the first to marry in Florida when a Miami-Dade circuit judge lifted her stay on the decision, striking down Florida’s ban on same-sex marriage, a day ahead of the rest of the state.

Jeff has also been involved in the community at large, working extensively with the National LGBTQ Task Force and The SMART Ride and serving on the Board of Equality Florida for the past 7 years. Jeff is committed to a vision of equality that allows everyone to be who they truly are, and to a world made better for his son and for all children.

Jeff and his husband own and operate Delmay Corporation professionally, which provides its software, event management, and consulting services to meeting and event organizers. Jeff is a graduate of Johnson & Wales, where he studied hospitality management. After graduating, he enjoyed a 12-year career working for a few of the finest hotels in Miami.
