Bear Man
General Manager
 bearman@leatherwerks.com

Known to his mother and his banker as Randall, the rest of the world knows him as The Bear Man (close friends call him Bear.) The Bear Man has been an S/M player and a top since his first husband forced him to tie him up out in the barn 30 years ago.  Trained by bottoms ever since, Bear Man put his training to use in 1996 as a founder and chair of Ft. Lauderdale’s Leather University Dungeon Series from 1996-1998. More information about Leather University can be found at leatheru.com. 

The Bear Man is currently the Managing Partner of DBL Products, Inc., which operates two Leather shops in Florida - Dungeon Bear Leather and LeatherWerks.  The Company leaves Florida several times a year to take the store on the road to events like Mid Atlantic Leather Weekend, IML, and the Delta Run.  

The Bear Man is very dedicated to the success of the company (read “a workaholic”).  What little time he spends away from work is spent with his husband of five years Lorenzo a/k/a Pup. 

In addition to his duties managing the business, the Bear Man is a member of the Board of Leather University, and of the Board of Directors of the Leather Archives and Museum, located in Chicago and serving the world.
