Sexton is the 2023 international president of the 4,000-member Legal Marketing Association (LMA) and has been a leadership member since 2021. He also serves on the governance board committee of Mosaic Youth Theatre of Detroit and was marketing chair for Ronald McDonald House Charities Ann Arbor’s board.”
“Long ago and far away, I would have only dreamed to be acknowledged in this way for who I am and what I’ve attempted to do in this life,” says Sexton. “I still feel a bit like that sheltered only child growing up in a small town in Indiana, reading comic books and pretending I was Han Solo in the backyard. So, it’s nice to feel seen and hopefully model just a bit for others like me that we have value in this universe.”
