For two decades John has been an iconic figure in the Irish and European fetish community. John has been an active member, volunteer and ambassador for some of the oldest fetish clubs in Ireland. A welcome beacon for new and existing members at fetish club events in Dublin, he has organised second-hand markets to make affordable fetish gear available for those starting out on their fetish life journey, while helping clubs and charities in the process.
John organised and hosted successful fundraising virtual fun events for The Switchboard (an LGBTQ+ support group for Ireland) and trained volunteers about Fetish & BDSM issues.
John is currently Secretary for Leathermen of Ireland and is an organiser of Dublin Leather Weekend DLW.
John has judged at International Mr. Leather (IML), Mr. Leather Wales, Mr. Leather Europe, Mr. Leather Belgium, Mr. Leather UK, and Mr. Bear Ireland. He served as Tallymaster for Mr. Leather Belgium, Mr. Puppy Europe, Mr. Rubber Ireland, Evidence Fetishman in Nice, Mr. Leather Spain, and Mid-Atlantic Leather (MAL).
An event where John is present wouldn’t be an event without his ever-present camera, documenting for posterity all aspects of community engagement wherever he travels.
John has been a long-time friend of the Leather and Fetish Community and a goodwill ambassador for Irish Fetish. He looks forward to being a Judge for Mr. Leather Israel.
