Keynote Speakers & Emcee
Darryl was born and raised on the east coast, and this is where he became actively involved in the Leather/SM community. At that time, Richmond, Virginia, was home and Darryl embraced his love of the South as Mr. SouthEast Leather from 1993 to 1995 before producing the contest for the next two years. During that time he also developed the 'Southeast Titleholders Conference,' a.k.a Sashfest, and the Bal de Sade. Both events were extremely popular and some would even say a part of local lore.
Over the years, Darryl has been involved with various community organizations and events throughout the US, Canada and Berlin. Among these was the challenge of being named the first Executive Director of Folsom Street Events, producers of both the Up Your Alley and Folsom Street Fairs. Through his work around the country, Darryl has been nominated twice for Pantheon Man of the Year and has received both the 1997 Southeast Regional Pantheon and the 2005 Northern California Pantheon.
