Master Neko

Director, MAsT Dallas

Neko is a proud Romanian Ludar, bisexual, pagan, polyamorous sadist, and the head of the Blood and Ice Leather House. He and his house follow the Code of Bushido, which he learned and came to embrace during his time in Japan over 30 years ago. For over 23 years, Neko has owned koneko and they’ve walked a deeply loving and spiritual path rooted in power exchange and purpose.
Neko began with leadership roles as Co-Chair in the National Leather Association-Dallas
Later, he led security for Beyond Vanilla while co-producing major contests such as Mr. & Ms. Texas Leather & Bootblack and the Great Plains Olympus contests. In Dallas, he ran groups such as DFW Bound and Ms. Boots’ Bound Rose Society.
Currently, Neko leads MAsT: Dallas and, alongside koneko, co-founded Empowered
Exchange and produces the Texas M/s Contest in Austin. He’s also staff for South Plains Leatherfest where he manages the SPLF Post Office. And with a strong commitment to education, Neko also co-runs the Mentors Programs in Austin and Dallas that support newer members in the Leather and BDSM communities.
At the core of Neko’s work is a belief that education should be engaging, insightful, and, most importantly—fun.
