Master Olivier Pratt

About me:

I'm a Leatherman, I'm a Sir, I'm a human being, I'm gay. For anyone to try and sum up all the parts that make them whole in a few paragraphs is a challenge. Let me try.

I'm originally from the Alsace-Lorraine region of France. My actual home town is a small village called Domevre en Haye located about 20 minutes from Nancy. I was born in 1965 and immigrated to the US in the mid 70's. In that time I've been fortunate in that I've had the opportunity live throughout the US, East to West, including Hawai'i.

My great grandparents were Greek/Italian jews who left Italy before the start of WW I, moving to France. They changed their name from Baronna to Baron and assimilated into French culture to escape the growing antisemitism of the time.

My biological father is from Madrid, but the man I call Dad adopted me when he met my mother while stationed in France at the local Air Force base, prior to Gen. DeGaul's expulsion of NATO forces.

I became a naturalized US citizen in 1977.

I'm a direct, in your face kind of man. I can be emotionally complex and intense in approach to life. Positive change and community work is my passion. I've been fortunate in so many ways, so its my daily goal to try and return my fortune back to my community.

These days I call Oklahoma City my home. Its truly the best of times, the worst of times.

I've chosen Leather as my lifestyle. This journey started in a bar in Tulsa many years ago. Since then I've learned that Leather is more then just a piece of clothing. Its way of approaching life, with honor, integrity and passion. Everything about Leather drives me, from the brotherhood and Tribal connection, to the open minded exploration of BDSM.

There's nothing I won't discuss, explore or try at least once, in any aspect of my life. If life is indeed a banquet, I want to be sure I've tasted everything!
