To everyone who has attended a Garden State Gay Socials event, thank you. Your support, positivity, and openness have transformed this group into more than just a get-together; you’ve helped build a space where meaningful friendships and authentic connections flourish.

It’s incredibly rewarding to witness so many like-minded gay men come together—not just to socialize, but to share, grow, and uplift one another. Your presence and enthusiasm inspire me every time, and I’m deeply grateful for the trust and camaraderie you bring to each gathering.

With a background in computer engineering, marketing, video production, keynote speaking, and coaching, I’ve spent my career helping others become the best versions of themselves.

Recently, I hit a new milestone when a TikTok video I created went viral, reaching over 500,000 views in just a few days. You can watch it here: https://www.tiktok.com/@jcmacademy/video/7502814518955740462?lang=en. That experience reminded me of the power of connection, authenticity, and community—values we bring to every GSGS event.

Looking ahead, I’m more excited than ever about what we’re creating together. My goal is to continue hosting events that spark curiosity, nurture friendships, and foster a safe, welcoming space for gay men to connect, whether for friendship, collaboration, or shared passions.

At the heart of it all is a simple belief: real relationships fuel real growth. Many incredible friendships and partnerships have already blossomed at our events, and I’m committed to creating even more opportunities for them to flourish.
