Dave Watt
Newer to the leather scene, Dave began to explore his sexual interests after hitting 40. The leather community helped guide his way into a world of self-exploration, heightened spirituality and kink. His partner Ken shares his passion for the leather community.
Dave is a member of the Grand Rapids Rivermen and serves on the CLAW Board of Directors. Professionally, Dave is a state certified HIV testor/counselor and works as a medical case manager for CARES (a SWMI AIDS service non-profit organization) with a case load of fifty HIV positive clients. He was honored with the title Mr Fetish Detroit which led him to his concurrent title: Mr. Michigan Leather. He has completed five food fetish presentations and countless HIV classes. He enjoys flogging "newbies" at leather events and flagging donut holes on his left.
