"You came looking for something....perhaps, you will find yourself."

First of all, thanks for stopping by and taking a few minutes to rest from your travels.

I'm pretty much a down-to-earth guy, just trying to make it through each day that I'm given. I try to be fair, understanding and compassionate and cause harm to no one. I believe in the inherent goodness of people and believe that everyone hides a vulnerable side. I work towards helping people bring those sides out of hiding. I try to make some sense of what is happening in my life and the lives of those around me. I search for meaning and value and once in a while....I find it.

As you may have guessed from the previous page, I am a gay male who is stocky and fairly hairy. That is why you will see alot of "bears." I am also interested in Leather. That is why I chose this color scheme, which represents the Leather Pride flag. In my dealings with both groups, I have met many folks who sport tattoos. This has become a passion of mine as well. And once in a great while, I'll put my thoughts down, on paper or the keyboard, about being gay in this mad, mad, mad, mad world.

So....here are the links to take you to whichever interests you most. There are no "adult-oriented" pictures on this site, so don't look for them...period...but I will include links to related sites that do. There are a number of good erotic photos under "Some Male Images" below...
