Synn, Ms. Texas Leather 2012, is a Southern Butch Leatherdyke who identifies as a Daddy, Service Top, and Switch. She first discovered Leather in 1996 and has been involved in the community since then. At the beginning of her journey, her work required her to travel extensively. As she visited many of America's larger cities, she began discovering opportunities to attend munches, meetings, and events which allowed her to receive training and mentorship from a variety of diverse perspectives within the Leather community.
An active player in the Dallas community, Synn is currently a member of Women in Leather-International, National Leather Association-International, and the Sharon St.Cyr Fund. Her favorite kink activities include (but are not limited to!) fire play, rope, edge play, and bondage. She frequently attends events in Texas and other states, and recently served as Head Judge for Mr. Dallas Eagle 2012. She is a steadfast activist for the Deaf and hard of hearing, working to promote the SSC fund and advocate for accessibility in private and public events. Synn is in a committed, open relationship and currently lives with her primary partner and their two goofy dogs and two bossy cats. She is a graduate of Johnson and Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island, and has been a professional chef for twenty-four years. She has been an Executive Chef for eighteen years, and currently works as a corporate chef and a professor of culinary arts in the Dallas area. Synn also provides catering services for local BDSM community organizations from small parties to large events.
