I was born and raised right here in Miami, FL. My interest in leather started at a very young age (i.e., start of puberty!) but I never acted on my interests until very recently. In fact, the two long-term relationships I have experienced were about as "vanilla" as they come.

About five years ago, I met a man who created my first scene and from that point on I was "hooked" as you might say. However, even at that point I didn't fully act on my desires. As irony would have it, I ended up keeping in touch with the man that first sparked my interest and we remain good friends to this day.

In 2007, I visited a friend in Los Angeles and picked up my first set of leather chaps and vest -- the first leather I owned other than a cock ring. :) Since then, I've attended a number of events - IML 2008, GLLA 7, Gay Days Disney, and Gay Pride Chicago. Thanks to the inspiration and support of my good friend Phil, I've also had the honor and privilege of working the ILS/b 2008 event.

In the brief time I've immersed myself in the community, I've found some amazing friends and family. I have also been very fortunate to find a wonderful Sir and his boy who have welcomed me into their family and have made me feel very special.
