I am the head of Household Keppeler, a group of leathermen living in a communal life. Our Household currently includes myself and two live-in slaveboys, kevin (9 years) and nick (1-1/2 years). My task is to have the vision of our lifestyle, to provide guidance and direction to the life of each of us, to provide stability to our Household, and to represent our Household to our wider leather family and to the whole leather and BDSM community.

I am a gentle man, treating the members of my Household with courtesy and respect, while still expecting and receiving obedience and submission. I do not expect to have to break a boy, but rather to bring out and to perfect the commitment to service that already resides within him.

I am a 62 years old Gemini, in the process of retiring the second time from working as a Systems Analyst and Sr. Benefits Consultant in the Retirement Plans Department of a major U.S. corporation in south central Michigan. I am 6 foot 2 inches tall and weigh 250 pounds, with blue eyes and short, graying beard and hair. My left ear is pierced, as well as several other parts of my body, and I have seven tattoos.

I have two great kids from a prior traditional marriage. I am very proud that each of them has earned a bachelors and master degree. I also have the loving support of my extended natural family here in Michigan and in the South.

I love to relax with a beer or a tumbler of bourbon. I can sometimes be found hanging with my boys at the Detroit Eagle, Diamond Jim’s Saloon in Detroit, the CellBlock in Chicago, or the Stagedoor in Dayton. And I am often seen at the Chicago Hellfire Club, where I and my slave kevin are associate members and we expect slave nick to soon be an associate. I am also an associate member of ICON Detroit and Trident Windy City.

I and my slave kevin are members of the Board of Directors of Masters And slaves Together, Incorporated (MAsT). I am the Chairman of the Board, National Executive Director and WebMaster. slave kevin is the Secretary and Treasurer. When we are able to make the several hundred mile journey, we are active in the MAsT: Chicago Chapter. The Household has also been privileged to design and publish the MAsT websites for MAsT National and most of the MAsT Chapters.

My favorite activity outside the life of our Household and the leather community is square dancing. I am a member of the Cadillac Squares of Detroit, a member club of the IAGSDC (International Association of Gay Square Dance Clubs).
