A Brief History of Me

	I am Devon Frederick Wing II, thanks for stopping bye. I'm glad to see ya and here to drop some knowledge about me. I am black, queer, and a freshcut skin male working in Manhattan as a consultant. Lets begin with some simple autobiographical information that might help you to place me in my correct time and place.
I was born the 10th day of April in 1972 CE in Kings County, Brooklyn, New York City. It was in Brooklyn where I'd made my first and fondest memories. Some of which I still have access to this very day. I stayed home until 29 February 1978, when my parents had finalized their plans to relocate to South Florida through the purchase of a house. My brother relocated with my father and mother and I followed shortly after.
	In Florida I grew, and became exposed to some of the things you are finding within these pages here on the web. It was in Florida I went to school, played, found friends and made enemies. Discovered that a man is not the measure of his groin but the content of his character and that bears are more than just some ursine critters that you could find at the local zoo.
It was in Florida I'd my first jobs and challenges. It was here that I learned how to love, how to live, and how to be kind and cruel in proportion. It was there that I acquired the skills which have made my home page possible as well as many other things too numerous to do justice in a brief document.
	I've one younger brother, Fredrick Dennis and an elder sister Judith, who has married recently and to whom my congratulations are extended. My mother lives in South Florida and my father resides here in New York.
I, myself, am a black male who happens to be gay. A freshcut skin who happens to be black. Take me as I am, all in all a complex man with simple tastes. I first became aware of my sexual identity at an early age. My skin-ness has been of recent vintage but no less valid. It was during these early experimental phases that I learned of my physical likes, my interest in leather, and to develop a personal philosophy. This has, over time, lead me to become something of a strange romantic capable of blending many relationship styles in order to create stability and balance. I have had two long-term relationships in my life and working toward the establishment of my third and hopefully final. The original two were both rich and wondrous in their attributes and taught me the skills necessary to make such things work in the future.

I close here with a dedication:
