“My journey in leather is absolutely a path of discovery about myself and the others involved. A person’s leather journey is rich in feelings and motivations, rich in shades and variations. A person’s leather journey is experienced and practiced in different ways. Based on my leather experience, your actions, words, honor and generosity to others will define you far more than a title or awards ever can.” – Thomas Smith
