Judge - Darryl was born and raised on the east coast, and has been around the block more than anyone is willing to admit. It was in Richmond, VA when he still had hair that he became actively involved in the Leather/SM community in the early 90's. From 1993 to 1995 Darryl held the title of Mr. SouthEast Leather before producing the contest for two years. During that time, he also developed the 'Southeast Titleholders Conference,' a.k.a Sashfest, and the Bal de Sade. Times changed and Darryl found himself following the creed “Go West”………. During the twelve years he resided in San Francisco, Darryl was the first Executive Director of Folsom Street Events, producers of both the Up Your Alley and Folsom Street Fairs. During that tenure Darryl aided in the development of Folsom North and Folsom Europe, and consulted with many events throughout the US. Darryl has also been a Co-Producer, Judge and Emcee of IMsL as well as involved in copious other events. Life continues to change, and Darryl returned to his old playground, Baltimore, in 2022 and now calls it home with his husband Will. Darryl has been nominated twice for Pantheon Man of the Year and received two regional Pantheon Awards for his work on both sides of the US. Among other items of note are being a First runner up for the American Leatherman, being on the cover of the Leather Journal, honorary member of the Richmond Leather Club, Co-Founder of TBLC in Richmond, recipient of the Eagle Award from the Tarheel Leather club, 2013 Recipient of the South East Leather Fest Community Award, and interior decorator of Playhouse prior to its original opening.
