CODY TROY
Cody Troy, is a Los Angeles based Leatherman, who is a transplant originally from Germantown, Ohio. He is a kinkster with a wide array of fetishes including: BLUF, impact play, hard BDSM, boots, cigars, sneakers, gear, jocks, socks, and rock-hard cocks! Cody’s leather journey started at the age 19, when he stumbled upon his first leather bar during his freshman year of college. From there his initial call to leather was incepted, and over the years through play, connection, and mentorship, his lusting for leather and kink was expanded and fortified, becoming a focal cornerstone of his life. At the age of 22, with the support of his leather family and local community, Cody competed in his first leather contest and became Mr. Midwest Leather 2013. He later went on to make his debut on the international stage and compete at IML 36, placing 3rd, and becoming the youngest individual to ever make the winners podium of International Mister Leather. Cody has had the great fortune to explore and experience leather culture throughout his travels across the majority of the United States as well as around the globe. Cody’s years in leather have been crucial to his development as a man and have been a powerful catalyst in shaping his life in a plethora of ways, including his journey to Los Angeles and meeting his soon-to-be-husband, Kevin. He hopes that somehow, someway, he can give back by lighting a spark of interest in those curious about their kinks or help them navigate their leather journey, much like how his mentors have done for him.
