My name is John and I am a Charleston West Virginia born and raised bear..Although I did spend 15 years in Washington DC..I moved back to Charleston 6 years ago to be with family and to get out of the DC rat race..Being back in Charleston has allowed me to meet and befriend some of the best down to earth, real people in the bear and leather community that I have ever known..I am currently vice president of the MT State Knights, and could not be happier to be a part of such a fantastic group of men..Love the guys in MT State Bears too! You can usually find me on the weekends at the Tap Room having some beers and conversation..I love going to the state campgrounds, Longfork and Roseland. When not involved in those activities, I like to hike, fish, read, and in the fall watch Mountaineer football! I am a rabid WVU fan..other than that I like to chill at home, watch a movie or read a good book..I'm a pretty quiet guy most of the time, but on rare occasions will talk a blue streak..Thanks to WVQueer News for inviting me to be bear of the week..and to all you bears out there a great big affectionate WOOF!
