Dale Stokes
Secretary
Del Haven
Grew up in Minnesota and has recently moved back after they studied and worked in the UK for over 3 years. They are excited to not only be a member of BlackBoots, but also to have the honor of being the Secretary and occasional event manager. They are somewhat new to the leather and kink community and is grateful for the opportunity to learn about them in a safe and accepting environment.
Del is a self identified brat, much to the chagrin of fellow BlackBoots members.

Pup Sparky
Is a founding member of BlackBoots Twin Ports and the inaugural Pet titleholder for 2023–2024. A fun-loving pup with a nose for adventure, Sparky can often be found roaming the wilds of Lester River, hiking the trails and searching for agates.
When not adventuring through the woods, he can be spotted singing his silly heart out during BBTP’s Kinky Karaoke Takeover nights at The Superior Flame.Wherever he goes, Sparky carries a message of love, acceptance, and visibility.
It’s not about the gear, but the animal spirit within.
