Jay, 2011 Northeast Community BootBlack

I was born and raised in Puerto Rico. I relocated to Massachusetts in 1979. I live in the Boston area with my partner of 9 years. Some of my hobbies include: Traveling, outdoor activities, camping, pool, bike riding, leather and boot blacking.

I got introduced to book blacking at a young age in Puerto Rico. I was a member of a Police Academy for young adults in my early teens. Part of the training in the academy includes boot blacking among other things.

I became interested in the leather scene in the early 90's. I have made good friends throughout the years in the leather community during my travels. I'm the current 2011 N.E. Community Boot Black title holder. I'm a member of the Fits like a Glove (FLAG) Leather Club in Boston.

I goal in participating in the contest is to further my involvement in the leather community.
