His vast knowledge of leather and queer history is advantageous in many of his persuits, including working in the store here at eagle.

Kai has spent his title year educating people about silicone and other methods of genital enhancement, leading the charge in fundraising for the MeatUp, and of course traveling to spread the good word of our organization. We are excited to have Kai here among our illustrious panel of judges where he gets to help select his successor.

Jesse Nicholson is Mr. Ramrod 2026 and represented Fort Lauderdale at International Mr. Leather in Chicago this past May.

Closer to home, Jesse serves as comptroller for Pig Week and can be found behind the bar at the Ramrod.

Serving up a spicy blend of Brazilian-Lebanese warmth, infectious charm, and relentless passion.By day, I’m a registered dietitian passionate about food drives to nourish our most vulnerable; the rest of the time, I’m putting that same heart for service into my local and global leather family . Whether representing as Mr. Eagle Wilton Manors 2026, stepping onto the IMLBB 2026 stage, learning the craft as a bootblack in the making, or building brotherhood as an ONYX Deep South Associate, my priority is making sure our community is genuinely inclusive and welcoming to every identity under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella. Preserving our roots matters just as much as expanding them, which is why I work alongside my brother Jesse (Mr. Ramrod 2026) on the board of the Leather Heritage Project to honor our history. Happily married for eight solid years and father to 5 adorable cats, I believe in showing up with warmth, honesty, and open arms, because real community happens when we do the work together and ensure nobody gets left behind.

Sir Ryan Trapp, originally from Kentucky, is the current Mr. BarCodes Leather 2026 and proudly calls Orlando home. It’s here that his leather journey began and where his love for community — both in and beyond the queer community — continues to shape who he is. Ryan carried that Orlando pride to the International Mr. Leather stage, earning a spot in the Top 20 at IML.

When he’s not in leather, Ryan is a proud plant and dog dad, pinball lover, traveler, and a big fan of Sunday motorcycle rides. Whether across the country or right here at home, he believes in showing up, making connections, and enjoying the hell out of the ride.
