In 2007 he explored and took his first baby steps into a different scene and began his journey as a Leatherboy. Despite protests, he refused to "put away childish things" and is proud to be a Leather little boy. He enjoys serving in whatever way that is, as well as finding any excuse for cuddles.

 Dakota has been in the community since February 2020. Immediately going into lockdown was not ideal, but it helped her find her love of bootblacking. Once things opened back up, she finally got to experience the community first hand. Having a community of people helped her come out of her shell and discover herself.

In her day to day life, Dakota raises awareness for her disability through many ways. She strives to find ways to make the world a bit more accessible for those with disabilities. This has also spilled into how she interacts with the Leather and Kink community. She loves to see others get to enjoy sitting in the stand for the first time, and helping other disabled bootblacks find ways to continue to black while having difficulties. She co-hosts a class/discussion with her husband dealing with disability in the leather and kink communities.

Dakota is a Little, brat, and service sub. She has been with her husband and Dominant, Max, since 2020 when he introduced her to the world of Leather and Kink. She loves helping others and continues to encourage newcomers to show up and find their people. Dakota competed for, and won, the North Carolina Bootblack contest in 2023.
