Swinging into Kink

MarKus is a true Texan, born and raised in the rural areas of Hill County. His love of leather started at an early age when he apprenticed for a saddle maker. In those years he learned his craft, the subtle nuances of working leather, the respect for discipline and patience in creating a masterpiece. Having served his country in the U.S. Navy with two tours in the Middle East, MarKus returned home and found his way into the Leather and D/s Community. Seeing a void in the community for quality, MarKus began a hobby of making floggers and paddles. Ten years later this hobby has grown into The House of MarKus, a well known purveyor of quality impact toys and leather work. MarKus is the founder and President of HOME, a pansexual organization focused on the education and promotion of the D/s, M/s life for beginners and a resource for those already involved.

You Want Me To Put That Where.  Baby You Can Kiss My Ash!! 

*All presentations in the Head Pig Smokehouse Cigar Lounge

In those decades Christopher found his love of Leather, BDSM, D/s and M/s.  His thirst for knowledge led to absorbing as much information, history and folklore of the Leather community through historical texts, Beefcake magazines and sharing space with his community.  That thirst continues today and he never tires of learning.

The Head Pig, aka Christopher, identifies as cis gay male submissive, friend, mentor, princess, business owner, community activist, event producer and yes Head Pig, in all senses of that. Recently widowed after an amazing 20 year marriage , Christopher has begun his journey into Hierarchy and empowerment as omega.
