Bio:Wade Kyle grew up in a small town near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he faced the challenges of embracing his gay identity in a less accepting environment. At 18, he moved to the vibrant city of Pittsburgh, where he connected with an eclectic community of drag queens, punks, poets, performance artists, and mystics. Wade began his matchmaking journey while attending Point Park University, an LGBTQ-friendly art school, and graduated in 2013. His fascination with his ancestry linked to the Salem witch trials led him to devote the next three years to studying divination, astrology, and the occult, aiming to explore the depths of the human psyche.
In 2016, Wade returned to matchmaking, moving to New York City, and in 2017 expanded his expertise and reach by combining his knowledge of matchmaking with esoteric studies. Wade focuses on creating profound connections within the LGBTQIA community. His matchmaking approach is deeply influenced by the principles of the Gay Liberation Movement, disability advocacy, intersectionality, and human rights, embodying his commitment to fostering queer joy and helping individuals find their ideal partners.
