My Title Year

Here is a brief over view of all the events I have done this year. Sorry men been very busy and have not had a chance to post them on my blog. It has been a great whirlwind year and I am glad I was a big part in helping my Leather brothers and sisters.

In January 2012, went to Mr Blue Grass Leather contest. Always have a blast when I get to see old friends and make some new ones.


March 2012 attended the Mr. Missouri Leather contest. I had the pleasure to meet Tyler McCormick at Bad Dogs Bar and Grill. It was a very interesting and fun evening.


Mar 2012 Went to Des Moines, IA helped with a fundraiser for Mr. Iowa (Jeremy Morris)
Mar 2012 Participated in Red Ribbon fashion show in Henderson, KY for Matthew 25, local HIV/AIDS organization. Every year they put this event on and I am glad I got to help them. I plan on doing more with them in the rest of the year.

April 2012 Went to Madison, WI to help with a fundraiser for Mr. Northwood’s (Jeff Gruenberger)
April 2012 Went to CLAW in Cleveland Ohio. I have to say I was taken back when I received the CLAW nation Spirit Award. I feel so proud to be part of the CLAW family and working for so many wonderful charitable organizations. Seeing and meeting so many leather folk is always a pleasure and I am glad I got to spend some time with them. As I have heard someone say "Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one."


April 2012 Helped with a fundraiser, A Tasteful Affair, for Doorways of St Louis, MO. It was a great weekend with the CLAW nation party and then Mike Lunter 's fundraiser.
Jan 2011 CLAWnation party Owensboro, KY raised $662.00 for the Aids task force. Had a great turn out for a little town and their first Leather function. It was very well received and the bar was packed. With raffles and prizes. Equals bar was so graceful to donate all the proceeds from the door.
