My name is Aaron aka Daddy Pup Bandit. I have been in the kink community for 10 plus years and enjoy a multitude of different kinks. I started my kink journey when I discovered my very first kink AB/DL at the around the age of 18 years old. Through this kink I started venturing into other facets of kink world which eventually led me down the path of finding the Leather and Pup Communities. Through these amazing communities and with the help of Great Friends and Mentors, I was able to not only discover my deep connection to Leather and Pup play, but also felt brave enough to share with everyone my AB/DL side which has now blended into every aspect of my kinks and my personal life. Through this journey I have had wonderful experiences such as running and winning Florida Leather and Fetish Pride. I also hosted a Leather and Kink social in Tampa for almost 2 years prior to the pandemic. I am so excited to be returning this year as a judge for this contest!
He is the permanent collared boy of Sir Grayhawk for 5 years now and is part of the Misfits Menagerie family. He is a firm believer that not only does everyone have a voice, but they have a place in the community. People are silenced and diminished because they don’t fit the mold/ image or expectation.
He was Mr. Florida Leather-nFetish Pride 2018, and has become known as Florida’s Basket Whisperer, by curating raffle baskets for events and titleholders across the nation. He’s helped the community raise thousands of dollars for charity and for travel funds by (as he puts it) “just having fun and making baskets that I think people will like”
