Interview

• How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or you are more of a homebody?
  I travel more frequently than almost anyone I know. Really, I live between three cities - Toronto, Buffalo and Philly - and visit other places pretty often as well. That said, it's important for me to maintain my home base in Toronto and to nourish my roots in a few special places, and I love having people over.
• Name 5 things that you can’t live without.
  Time, space and supplies to cook for others (even though I can make a mess sometimes).
  Space to myself, even just once in a while.
  Chosen family.
  Wheels.
  Sex.
• What are your hobbies? What do you like to do in your spare time?
  I'm a nerd, a special kind of nerd at that. Recent hobbies and projects include: bikes, gym times, zines, the ballroom scene, collecting vintage porn, Letraset, typewriters, mimeographs/risographs and other obsolete printing equipment (and refurbishing them!), printing in general, activism, harm reduction, DIY lube making, fermentation, karaoke, dumpster diving, creative cooking, sewing, dreaming
• What makes you stand out from the crowd?
  It may not show in my pictures or profile — they only go so far — but people have a hard time getting a read on me. Not in a mysterious way, but as though I have some special magnetic power that allows me to build trust with people quickly and meaningfully. I'm also a bit of a generalist and know something about everything — so I can talk to just about anyone and enjoy it. Lastly, if you haven't noticed, I'm thick and I have a big juicy butt, it literally stands out!
• What are your greatest personal traits?
  I'm sensual and charming, so I'm told. I'm a bon-vivant and I like to bring others along with my in my pleasure seeking adventures, be they food, sex, travel or exploration. I am a big listener and I am endlessly curious about people. My friends tell me they appreciate me because I can listen without trying to solve everything or lecture anyone, but offer helpful thoughts when required.
• What’s your lifestyle? What makes you who you are?
  Above all, my day to day is driven by curiosity and learning. I love people who have lived very different lives from my own, and I consume media, conversation, pleasure and experience voraciously. I have never enjoyed working traditional jobs or staying put for long — rather, I like to make deep connections in many different places Some might call me a wild child or a punk — I'm certainly not run of the mill.
• What do you do for fun?
  I love to bike around the city and on longer jaunts. I'm always cooking. I'm a visual artist working in print and zines. I'm an activist. I love travelling. I like going to the cinema when I can, or to theatre and cultural events. And baby, I love to dance when the mood strikes and the music hits right! Also an Olympian karaoke-ist :)
• What is your ‘niche’?
  I'm a hot, horny, slutty bear cub! I'm a big beefy boy with a belly and that's what many of my clients like about me, whether I'm their usual type or a surprising new interest.
