Life and career
Yan was born in Hawai'i. Raised on the island of Oahu until he was 18 years old, he moved to attend Babson College, graduating in 2006. Influenced by the tradition of the "talk story" growing up in Hawai'i, he began taking courses in poetry at Babson with English professor Mary Pinard. He began performing on campus, reciting poetry that addressed the themes of gender and sexuality.

Yan spoke at the National Equality March in 2009.

Yan won the first annual Mr. Transman competition in 2010.
