We’re so excited to have Kevin joining us as one of this year’s incredible educators for Show Me Leather 2025!

“My leather journey began in 2014 when I first walked through the doors of JJ’s Clubhouse in St. Louis, Missouri. From that moment, I felt more welcomed and accepted than in any other community — a place where people aren’t judged by their looks or what they wear, but by who they are inside.

Over the years, I’ve grown deeply connected to this community and its values of authenticity, respect, and brotherhood. I competed for the title of Mr. Missouri Leather twice and was proud to succeed on my second try. Along the way, I’ve learned that both my sobriety and my physical disorder would shape the path I walk, but they’ve also taught me resilience and gratitude.

Achieving that title was a personal goal — one that reminded me how powerful it is to set intentions and pursue them step by step. To me, life is about setting small goals, accomplishing them, and using each victory to reach for something greater.”

Kevin will be giving his class called "Pride Without the Pour".
Class description:
“Pride Without the Pour explores what it means to celebrate and connect within the LGBTQ+ community while living — or simply experimenting with — sobriety. This class creates a space to unpack the ways q***r culture has often centered alcohol-fueled environments and to imagine new, affirming forms of joy, belonging, and pride that don’t rely on drinking.”

If you want to learn more about his class, make sure you’re at Tropical Liqueurs on Saturday at noon this is one session you won’t want to miss.

You may rest Sir. The tribe will miss you.

You may rest Sir. The tribe will miss you.

It is with a very heavy heart that we share the passing of our club brother and longest running member, Russ Duncan. Russ pledged for the KC Pioneers in our founding year of 1975, and has been a staple of the club and community ever since. We keep Russ’ family and friends in our thoughts - he will be missed by many. Services have yet to be announced, but we will share more information as soon as we can.
