Meet the Presenters: Prince Tristian

For over 30 years, he’s helped shape the fabric of our community — leading, teaching, and connecting others through the power of leather and service.

---

My story in kink started before I even knew the word for it. As a teenager I’d sneak Penthouse magazines — not for the photos, but for the wicked, unapologetic adventures of “Wicked Wanda.” A few years later, reading Anne Rice’s Sleeping Beauty trilogy, I saw myself in Prince Tristan — and everything clicked. In a pre-internet world, I followed a tiny flyer from the back of an adult video store to my first B**M night, got
vetted, walked through those doors, and never looked back.

More than 30 years later, this journey shaped nearly every part of who I am. I’ve been a collared and owned slave/boy five times and a Daddy/Owner three times. I’m supported by my wife of 40 years and my slave princess — both of whom make it possible for me to
live and love this life fully. I claim many identities: masculine, slave, leatherboy, primal wolf, pansexual, poly, and Daddy. My kinks tend to sit on the rougher edge — I love the dirty, the raunchy, and a good whip on my back. I flag hunter green, yellow, black, and
Houndstooth.

Community has always been where my heart lives. I’ve led beginner groups, facilitated relationship discussions, helped build dungeons and clubs across the Southeast and Mid- Atlantic, and co-founded MAsT Virginia Beach. I was honored to be crowned the first
Mr. Virginia Leather in 2019 — and I carried that title through 2022 with a platform rooted in inclusion, education, and authenticity. Even during the pandemic, I worked with local groups to keep our people supplied, supported, and learning.

For me, leather isn’t just gear — it’s a bridge. It connects us across kinks, identities, and experiences. And building those bridges is my life’s work.
