Emcee, Friday & Saturday evenings: Buck
Your Friendly Neighbourhood Bootblack! Buck is an accomplished bootblack and kink educator, with over 15 years of experience in the scene, and 13 years as a bootblack. He has been teaching bootblacking and leather care on TikTok since April 2022, and has taught kink and play classes for events and clubs such as Wicked in the West, Palm Springs Leather Order of the Desert, and GearUp Weedkend. A versatile switch, Buck finds enjoyment in prioritizing connected experiences when engaging in play regardless of the position and role he finds himself in.
When not bootblacking, he can be found nerding out with friends over card and video games, telling bad jokes that he knows will get him in trouble with his Daddy, singing along with showtunes in his car, and posting shameless thirst-trap selfies from the gym locker room.

As a service person, in the leather community, Moxie serves as the Contest Director for the Northwest Bootblack competition and Bootblack coordinator at SPLF, dedicating time and energy to fostering talent within the niche.
