Boy Ed

Bootblack boy ed is the current 2014 International Community Bootblack and the 2014 Mid-Atlantic Community Bootblack from Pittsburgh, PA. Bootblack boy ed's leather journey started more than a decade ago. Shortly after meeting his brothers at his local leather club, The Knight Hawks of Virginia. He attended his first Mid-Atlantic Leather weekend in Washington DC and he knew he found his community.

Bootblack boy ed's bootblack experience started while serving his country in the United States Marine Corps. He would work on boots in his free time and fantasized about the men that wore them. Little did he know that he would get the opportunity to act on the fantasy!

His interest and public experience began to take off after attending workshop's on technical and erotic bootblacking from two people who would help mentor him along the way. He also serves his local and regional bootblack community with his "Boots and Brunch" where bootblacks can meet, enjoy great food, celebrate community, and participate in skills exchange. Bootblack boy ed also enjoys sharing skills with his community hosting workshops when ever and where ever he can.
