Presenters Bio's
Pup Snuggles, aka James Cummings, is a native Hoosier since 1986 and has been a part of the kink community since attending International Mr. Leather 2006. That particular IML was able to open his eyes to the wide world of BDSM and change his life forever after meeting many very loving and knowledgeable people, as well as being collared by Master Victor. Since then, he has learned about more fetishes and has done his best to pass on the knowledge to others, including puppy play, rope bondage, and mummification. Over the past three years, he has developed his rope skills and after receiving many complements on his work, he has decided to teach others on a more public basis. Based from designs of rope geniuses such as Twisted Monk, Midori, and Two Knotty Boys, he has developed his own flavor of rope bondage and wishes to share it with all who will listen and want to learn.
He is also a recently graduated photography student from Indiana University and soon to be massage student of Associates for Integrative Health. For any who are interested, his portfolio and contact info can be found at www.jamescummings.info.

My name is Kenny Evans I am also known as The Leather Queer.
I’ve always been a little ‘left-of-center’ and not really fit any one particular mold. A wonderful friend of mine who was also a bit ‘left-of-center’ began to call me by a nickname that has since become my trademark if you will … “The Leather Queer”.
I’ve been involved in the Gay Leather / BDSMDS community for about 25 years now. I’ve held many titles, positions and memberships as well having been of service to our community in many ways. It is though this association that I’ve developed my talents for constructing much of the furniture, gear and toys that we use.
I became involved in leather crafting when several people I’d known began bringing various items to me to see if I could repair them. They naturally assumed that since I was a service technician or mechanic, that I could repair a simple tear in a vest, pants or jacket, or a broken snap, faulty hinge and various other items. Somewhere about 20 years ago, I began to construct my own suspension gear because I the retail merchandise I was seeing seemed to be of inferior quality more than durable and lasting construction. I’ve designed & built various gear from leather, chain, and rope, dungeon furniture out of wood, steel and PVC and a wide variety of toys as well.
To date, I’ve designed, constructed & sold numerous items and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. Until recently I thought it only a hobby, but it is my hope to someday retire from my current livelihood and spend much more time leather crafting within our ever expanding community.
