Hello! We are Adam, Winn, and Oliver; and we live in Nashville, TN. We met in 2018 like most Millennials, via a dating app, and it has been a wild ride ever since. We started dating when Adam was in the 3rd year of his residency and quickly learned that we were exactly what the other was looking for. We were married in June of 2020 (Yes, covid backyard wedding) and moved to Denver, CO 3 days later so Adam could begin his fellowship. We were in Colorado for a year, before moving to Durham, NC for Adam’s first job; and 1 year later we moved back to Nashville for a job Adam couldn’t refuse. Just to recap, yes, we lived in 3 states in 3 years, and it has been the best/wildest adventure! Winn’s family lives just outside the city, and we plan to settle here for a while until the next adventure.
Hi, I’m Adam. I was born and raised in Austin, Texas where my immediate family all still reside including my sister and her two kids. I stayed in Austin through high school and was heavily involved in band and marching band at that time playing the French horn. I went to college in Houston at Rice University before attending medical school in Galveston, TX. Ultimately, I completed my residency in Neurology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center which is when Winn and I met. I now work as a Neurohospitalist and vascular neurologist at Vanderbilt where I originally trained. School and training took up significant amounts of time in my life but since meeting Winn and now being out of training, we can focus and dedicate more time to each other and our family.
Winn was absolutely the support I needed in my life and we both work endlessly to make each other better. We have big goals and inspire each other to meet them from both a career and personal perspective. I am proud of Winn every day for all that he has accomplished and for proving what it means to be the best husband you can be. Winn will absolutely be an incredible father and I can’t wait to watch him and us take that journey together.
Hi, I’m Winn, and I grew up in a small town outside of Nashville. My parents still live there, and my younger brother lives in Las Vegas. I went to a small school from PreK-12th grade and graduated with 36 people in my class (way too small…). I had a small-town childhood and spent my weekends camping, hunting, and fishing with my Dad. I played baseball and football and was terrible at both! I quite literally walked across the street for college and could see my high school from my dorm room window. In hindsight, I should have tried harder to get out of town, but at that age I didn’t know any better. After college I moved to Nashville with some friends and met Adam a few years later.
Adam is the best thing that has ever happened to me. He makes me the best version of myself, and challenges me to be a better person every day. Thanks to him and a great boss I had, I finally took a leap and went back to school for my MBA last year. Moving back to Nashville with my degree opened doors I never imagined, and I now manage multiple Cardiology Clinics at Vanderbilt. When I think of being a parent, I always think of how lucky I am to have Adam as a husband who will inspire our child.
Now that we are both settled in our careers and home in Nashville, we finally have time to build our life. Our weekdays are routined; we go straight to the gym after work, walk Oliver, and then make dinner at home (Unless we just absolutely need tacos). On the weekends we usually try to find some cool event, because Nashville always has something happening concert, flea market, paddleboarding, winery/brewery, spending time with friends, and anything else we can do to get out of the house. FYI, we are not homebodies and try to be out of the house as much as possible. We are a very adventurous couple and like to try new food and experiences as much as possible. We plan to make sure that our child shares the same lust for adventure!
We both grew up in the south. While we both acknowledge how fortunate we were to grow up in loving families who wanted only the best for us, it does not eliminate the fact that we grew up as gay men in a region not known for its openness. Society has made significant strides in terms of its approach to gay relationships, and we are proof of that very progress. However, we both grew up at a time when it was unclear if we would ever feel comfortable enough to be open about our sexuality. This was just a reality of growing up at the time and there wasn’t even a thought given to the idea of marriage, and certainly none given to the idea of being parents.
We both came out publicly before we even met each other and had our own individual paths to arriving there. Both of us were unique for our ages and sexual orientations in that we were looking for the forever person and ultimately that individual would need to one day desire to be a parent as well. When we finally met each other, there was somewhat of a shared disbelief that we had actually found each other and that we both had the same goal of wanting to be fathers.
Since meeting, our stories have now merged into one and we have only grown to learn more about one another and to love one another more every day. Our journey continues and we hope that a child will soon become a part of that journey along with us. Between the two of us there is so much love to give and we intend to surround any future child not just with this love, but with curiosity, opportunity, joy and learning.
As we mentioned before, our younger selves never could have imagined that we would be where we are today. We are so grateful that JustChoice proudly works with gay couples, and we are so humbled that you would consider a gay couple. This entire process has given us so much hope for the future, and that is exactly what we want to give to you. Below are our promises to you:
Your child will be given opportunity. We believe that education is the solution for so many of the world’s problems and being properly equipped with knowledge is key. As two people who value continued learning, we will make sure that your child has a sense of curiosity and an eagerness to grow every day. Whatever path they may choose, we will support them and help them achieve their goals.
Your child will have adventures. We believe that different experiences create a richness in life, and we will make sure that your child is worldly, traveled, and adventurous. We want them to try new foods, try new games, and meet new people who are different from them. We want them to be bold and take risks (with us as a safety net, of course).
Your child will experience their culture. We are not picky when it comes to the race or ethnicity of a child and understand the importance of the child knowing their culture. We will do everything we can to introduce them to various aspects of their culture if different from our own.
Your child will be loved. As two people who have experienced hate, and acknowledge the issues in our country, we want to make sure that your child is loved and understands how to love. We want to shape them to be empathetic to others.
