A Connection Coach for Gay and Bi Men

For those who want to feel less alone and more alive.

61% of gay and bi men feel lonely and disconnected. That’s three times the national average.

Loneliness is rising, and even when we’re out or surrounded by people, it can still feel like no one truly sees us.

The real question isn’t “what’s wrong with me?” It’s “why can’t I find the kind of connection or relationship I want — with myself and others?”

I’m Adam. I’ve spent the last 12+ years helping people connect deeply, honestly, and without a facade. You can heal without code-switching or pretending. We just need space to be real.

My work creates spaces where people can experience real connection. That’s how transformation happens.

That’s how I healed, and that’s how you can too.

What You’ll Find Here:

  • 1-on-1 sessions (online or in-person)

  • Small virtual groups for gay and bi men

  • Tools and techniques to connect more deeply with others and yourself

This is a comfortable space to be uncomfortable.

Be seen, heard, & validated. 🌈

Work With Someone Who Understands

I’m Adam, a gay man, husband and parent, who founded HearMe and Cuddlist, two of the largest platforms for human-to-human connection. I’ve trained thousands in empathetic listening and worked with countless gay and bi men navigating loneliness and the challenge of building meaningful, lasting relationships.I know what it feels like to crave real connection. I also know how powerful connections can be when they finally happen.Connection is the solution.

For years, my mission has been to address loneliness and disconnection.

I’ve done that through building HearMe, a platform that’s connected hundreds of thousands of people to real-time emotional support, and Cuddlist, which helped redefine safe, affirming touch. Both have reached national scale, transforming how people experience empathy and connection.

The hundreds of clients I’ve spoken with — and the emails I’ve received from people sharing their profound experiences — proved to me the simple, yet radical, power of presence and listening.

Now, I’m bringing that experience home — focusing specifically on gay and bi men.

As a gay man myself, I know how deeply loneliness and disconnection can run, even when life looks good from the outside. I know what it’s like to keep parts of yourself hidden to feel safe, and the toll that takes over time.

What This Is?

This isn’t therapy. This is a space to practice vulnerability and human connection.

Sometimes we protect ourselves without even realizing it. This space is where we check in — and gently stretch into deeper connection.

This is a comfortable space to be uncomfortable. To practice in the presence of others — where we grow through honesty, reflection, and shared experience. Connection is the solution.
