Sir Boss, 2010 Northeast LeatherSIR

Sir Boss was born in Leather. He was surrounded by leather being in a family of leather crafters and motorcycle enthusiasts. Boots, gloves, jackets and leather pants were just a part of their lives, everyday attire. This was both an asset and a detriment when he entered the Leather Community over 12 years ago. Sir Boss was already comfortable in leather, but now he was faced with the stigmatisms and preconceived notions that were heaped upon leather. Looking to change these negatives into positives, Sir Boss lead by setting good examples and building strong bonds in all communities.

Creating a true brotherhood with men who are strong, loyal individuals and aren't afraid to be themselves, is his main goal. Sir Boss believes diversity is the rope that binds us all together and allows us to bring our own style and personality to the table. Brothers aren't easy to find, but he has been fortunate in his life to find several caring, hot men that he knows will be with him 'til the end. Sir Boss' boy is a shining example of that type of man. His boy will go to battle for his Sir at the drop of a hat and always stands behind him. Sir Boss considers himself a natural Leader, Mentor and Educator and feels, Sir fits in there as well. Communication is always the foundation, from there everything else can be built into something special between a Sir and a boy
