He moved to LA in 2022 and, after finding it hard to join a team, started a coed softball team via Craigslist, writing a detailed post to set expectations and be transparent about his identity. He later joined a more established Sunday pickup, forming friendships through repeated play and mutual support for side projects, such as music and art events shared in a text thread. He also launched a monthly Creativity Loves Company meetup on Friday afternoons, including a recent handwritten letter activity, and began attending neighborhood council meetings after picking up litter and then reaching out for help with a trash-heavy area."}
