Originally hailing from a small town in Massachusetts, i moved to the Miami area in 1997 where i first began finding – and accepting - myself as a gay man. Through that period and even earlier, i shared in many unforgettable experiences and adventures as i delved into the world of leather and submission with men who have helped to shape the individual i am today; however, it was not until the last few years during which it became clear to me that this longing was something far more than simply "play-based" and a much deeper part of who i was, heart and soul – a part of me that not only was dying to be found, but also needed to be nurtured and expanded upon.

It has been through my journey that i found myself at a precipice, one in which i needed to decide whether to continue living a life of the status-quo while attempting to fit myself within the neat little boxes of what society as a whole envisioned was "proper" or to take the leap of faith and find the confidence and pride to embrace my true self. i – like all of you great men who make up this group – have chosen the latter and could never imagine looking back.
