Beyond the stage, L.T. manages and cares for citrus trees, tropical variants, and a ton of succulents. In addition to frolicking through the backyard garden, his daily artistic practice includes not skipping leg day, overseeing organizational event budgets, and coordinating timelines for digital media production and meetings with state legislators.
