Bio

boy ivan Reyes   (contact)
Baltimore, Maryland, USA

i was born on the east coast of (New York), but grew up in a military family, we traveled a lot. i guess you can say i grew up around the country. i met my Daddy Sir Nagrom ten years ago, just in time... because i've been searching for that place where i belong. When he introduced me to the leather life, i knew my search was over. i had found my home and family. i live in Baltimore, Maryland now and have been there for the past 4 years, i am a founding member of maji leather club for men of color. i've raised funds for moveable feast (supplies meals to people with aids) and helped Sir Robert Davis with his charity fundraiser for Whitman-Walker Clinic (out-reach for aids and cancer), and my Daddy with the Morgan Monceaux Artist Trust (gave 5 scholarships for inner city kids to pursue a collage education) and i continue to support our community every chance i get.

i'm 5'11", 200lbs. and 38 years old. i'm an alpha boy (very spirited) that likes to live hard, work hard, love hard & play hard... cum play with me. i will be hosting the largest boy gathering here in Atlanta, GA at International LeatherSIR/boy 2005. Come join me and the boys as we take over the world one daddy/sir at a time.

Parting Words

How can i best describe my title year? It was the best of times, and it was the worst of times. Shortly after winning my title, i learned that my daddy's lung cancer had come back after three years of being in remission. With less then a 50/50 chance of surviving chemotherapy again, he has decided to let it run its course. i have to respect his choice; after all i'm his # 1 boy, and i enjoy him and our life for as long as i have him, which may only be year or two. i can only hope that when i grow-up to be a daddy one day, i'm brave enough to be half the man he is.

Now for the good: it was an honor, a joy and a learning experience to represent the boys as International Leatherboy 2004. Thanks to my Mid-Atlantic family and all of you who gave me the strength to deal with the bad. With your love, support and wisdom, balanced with devotion, trust and understanding, i will step-down knowing that i was and always will be backed up by generations of leather folks that supported me and taught me to just be myself. Thank You.
