• Get To Know Me •

Hey everyone! So glad you're here to learn a little more about me beyond the quick intro. When I first put myself out there with that 'Get To Know Me' banner you might have seen, I was excited to share a glimpse into my world, and now I want to dive a bit deeper into what truly makes me, well, me! One of the biggest parts of my identity is being a transgender man. It’s been a journey of self-discovery, growth, and finding immense joy in living authentically. It’s not always easy, but embracing who I am has been the most empowering experience of my life. It's about living your truth, finding your community, and celebrating every step along the way. If you're on a similar path, or just curious, know that you're not alone, and there's so much strength in being yourself. My day job as a Radiologic Technologist at our local hospital is definitely a significant piece of who I am. Working in healthcare is incredibly rewarding, even with its stressful moments. Imagine being the person who captures the unseen, helping doctors diagnose and treat patients. One minute I could be taking an X-ray of a broken bone, the next I’m in the operating room assisting a surgeon, making sure they have the clearest images possible. It's a high-pressure environment, but knowing I'm contributing to someone's health and well-being every single day is a powerful motivator. It’s a career where precision and empathy go hand in hand, and I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. Outside of work, my world revolves around my amazing girlfriend and our little furry crew. We have four perfect fur-babies inside and one cool outdoor kitty – our home is always full of purrs, barks, and endless cuddles! They bring so much laughter and unconditional love into our lives, making every day brighter. Being a pet parent is a huge part of my heart, and honestly, they're the best stress-relievers after a long shift. When I'm not with my animal family or at the hospital, you’ll probably find me immersed in a video game. I love diving into different worlds, solving puzzles, and connecting with friends online. It’s my ultimate way to unwind and explore new narratives. I'm also a huge fan of visiting new places. There’s something so invigorating about experiencing different cultures, seeing breathtaking landscapes, and trying new foods. Whether it’s a weekend getaway to a nearby city or planning a bigger adventure, I’m always looking for the next exciting spot. And meeting new people along the way? That’s just the cherry on top. I believe everyone has a unique story, and I love hearing them. So, that’s a bit more about what makes me tick. From my life in Southern West Virginia to my passions, my work, and my journey, I'm excited to share more and connect with all of you here on Lemon8. Let's keep the conversations going!
