Thanks for visiting my site and I hope you have enjoyed
the information and pictures.
I am a full time Firefighter/Paramedic for the Los Angeles
County Fire Department, working at Fire Station 51 located in Universal
City, CA. As a firefighter, I get to do what I love, helping people
and the community in times of true need. I started working as a full
time firefighter at the age of 40. Before that I was in the US Navy
for 8 years and then worked at a nuclear power plant in Chemistry &
Radiation Protection for 15 years.
I really did not realize that I was gay until I was 45
years old. It was a difficult struggle and fortunately I had lots of
help from friends and community with the adjustment. It's not that I
just suddenly became gay, it just took 45 years to figure it out.
The good part of the whole process is that I have ended up with a
wonderful partner (Jim) and very understanding family, friends and
co-workers.
Likewise, I am new the leather community. While I
have always had an interest in leather, I have only begun to explore these
interests and take advantage of the different organizations and functions
available for self-discovery. I am sure that there are many facets
of leather that I will embrace and enjoy and many that I will not.
We all have personal tastes and there's a lot of new 'food' for me to try.
I am active in the gay community and I am in the following
organizations:
