A: My transness has influenced every part of my life and continues to affect how I perceive and interact with the world. I have been perceived as a straight female (when I was a teenager), lesbian (during college), straight man (just after transition), gay man (a bit later), and now as a queer man with a very strong trans identity. I can say with certainty that people treat men and women differently and I can also testify to the way gay and lesbian people are treated differently. I feel I have lived multiple lives in one lifetime.
A: I love my ability to be radically authentic - a process of showing up in alignment with my evolving truth especially when it defies social expectations and risks disapproval. A process of becoming and unbecoming over and over again. A process of listening deeply inward and showing up outwardly from a place of honesty, vulnerability, and unapologetic uniqueness. I have fought to get here and it is what makes me feel like I am thriving in a society that is currently trying to destroy me and all trans people. I refuse to be invisible. My resilience is a super power.
A: I would share with you my search for radical authenticity and figuring out that shame is a colonial, patriarchal, cisheteronormative construct designed to control, contain, and coerce. I would share with you that any shame you carry is not yours, it never was, and you don't have to make room for it in your life. I would share my journey so perhaps, you too, can claim the right to be unapologetically you.
A: Beyond the necessities which many of us in the western world take for granted such as shelter, food, water, and other things to meet our basic everyday needs, I would not want to live without companionship of some sort, natural beauty (my source of wonder and awe), my cordless Hitachi magic wand vibrator, moisturizer/sunscreen, and books. Could I survive without these things? Absolutely. Would live be truly fulfilling? No.
A: I am very well educated (PhD), but not pretentious. I enjoy talking about sex, gender and sexuality and people find me to be approachable. I am a sex educator and many of my clients ask me questions they have never felt comfortable asking anyone else. I am honored to be a part of anyone's journey of self-discovery and growth.
A: I am a tinkerer, inventor, writer, speaker, and artist. I almost always have at least one project underway (usually more). I love being outdoors, especially near water. In the summer, I love swimming in lakes and gorges. In the winter I tend to be more of a homebody spending time making art, sewing, or doing other indoor hobbies. I also love streaming shows and movies.
A: I was the first person in my family to go to college and the first in the history of both sides of my family to get a PhD. I am not satisfied if I am not learning something new.
I am a giver. I give generously of my attention and care. Friends have called me a "healer" because I listen deeply and serve as a loving mirror, gently guiding people on their path of unapologetic uniqueness. I take sacred intimacy into both the erotic and platonic realms and foster genuine connections with anyone who wants it.
A: I am currently writing my first book, part memoir, part self-help about finding your authentic self and giving yourself permission to be uncontainable, despite the risk of disapproval due to social expectations. I am an artist, speaker, gardener, musician, and love to read. I am in love with nature and biology and crave spending time outdoors.
A: I am very empathetic and compassionate and bring to my sessions a presence that is often missing from sensual experiences. I give my clients 100% of my attention and I am genuine with my interactions. I do not pretend to be interested, I AM interested and enjoy getting to know my clients. They can detect this and feel quite comfortable with me.
A: I stand out because of my openness about my body, sexuality, and the fact that I talk about sex and sexuality to anyone without shame or guilt. I want people to feel good about sexuality, not ashamed. I want people to feel comfortable seeking pleasure openly, not secretly. I want people to feel good about their body, not suffer from self-loathing because they don't fit a beauty stereotype. I believe everyone is sexy and I love helping people figure out how to tap into that feeling.
A: Since the pandemic I have spent far too much time at home. This is changing. I am starting to venture out more to do new activities and visit nature preserves and state parks within 2 hrs of central Ohio. I do prefer to next and grow a food garden every year, but I also crave adventure.
A: I am in a transitional stage with respect to diet and fitness. Things changed when the pandemic began and I haven't quite recovered. I am currently about 25 lbs heavier than I was in some of my earlier photos and videos on this site, but honestly, I really like the daddy belly on me. It is rock solid, just like the rest of my body. If anything, I want to keep the belly and bulk up all over to be a FTM daddy muscle bear.
