Gino V. Medeiros (born Gene W. Binsbachar, Jr.) lives on a small farm in Northern California with his husband, Tony. Together, they run a small construction business lifting and moving entire houses. Gino and his former husband fostered and adopted a teenage girl from the foster care system who has gone on to graduate from college and is living her best life.

In 2022, his mother, Judy, who figures heavily in his upcoming memoir, "Broken Boy", passed away. He is dedicated to carrying on her legacy of boundless compassion and caring for others. He made his mother that promise before she passed, and he is committed to that promise.

After working for fifteen years at University of California, San Francisco, he is now a passionate advocate for children's rights. Drawing on his experiences growing up in the foster care system, he has been a keynote speaker at foster parent trainings and industry conferences where he educates on the additional challenges of being gay as a foster child.

Broken Boy is his debut book. It was inspired by a chance encounter with the legendary Maya Angelou in 2001.
