Meet 2024 AZ Puppy Contest Tallymaster, Pup Erik, the 2024 Southwest Leather Cub and Phoenix Kink/Pup Event Promoter.
I’m Pup EriK, also known as Alex! I am the 2024 Southwest Leather Cub! I have been a pup for just over a year—since April 1, 2023! I’m an active mentee striving member in Phoenix boys of Leather. I’m an ambassador for the Speedo Movement, a body-positive movement on Instagram showing men of all shapes and sizes look great in a Speedo. My goal is to bridge the gap between being a professional business owner and an active member of the leather and kink community. By day I am a Realtor (hit me up if you’re looking buy or sell a home) for and am the Vice President of the Keller Williams young professionals, Phoenix Chapter, and member of the Keller Williams rainbow network. By night I am a Pup, kink educator, and event promoter, and run Get Up and Go Go, a body-positive amateur go go dancing event twice monthly at Phoenix’s Anvil Bar.
The Tallymaster, if you’re curious, is a key role in the process of judging the event, but does not directly judge our contestants. As Tallymaster, EriK will be the unbiased, impartial scorekeeper who will collect judge’s scores, apply tiebreakers if needed, poll the contestants to determine the winner of Most Congenial Pup, and ensure records are safeguarded for transparency after the event.
Follow them on their instagram @pup_erik or meet them in person at the AZ Puppy Weekend events, and cheer on our contestants as they compete and are judged by our judges in the first-ever AZ Puppy Contest on May 4 at 1pm at Kobalt Bar. Be sure to get your tickets—space is limited!
