Leather Title Contestants

Mr. Wisconsin Leather Pride 2026 Contestant: Matt Fox (primary, professional), Kolte (pet, personal) (he/him)

Matt Fox is a nerdy, polyamorous, neurodivergent leather daddy from Milwaukee. He serves as the Webmaster for Pride Rides Wisconsin, where he helps coordinate multiple fundraising events throughout the year to benefit LGBTQ+ and other charitable causes - Pathfinders, Street Angels, Planned Parenthood, Hunger Task Force, and MADACC, to name a few. He is also the 2024 titleholder for Mr Milwaukee Leather, and has been active in the leather community since 2016. 

Matt’s interests focus on leather and pet play, gaming, and music. He adopted the “Fox” moniker after his spirit animal - shy and playful. He also has an insatiable bear fetish. Almost every D&D character he makes is a bear Druid, he can’t play Skyrim without body hair mods, and he has at least 5 different bear-themed Magic: The Gathering decks (…so far). 

He identifies with the punk and industrial music scenes, and DJ’s for fetish themed events.

Mr. Wisconsin Leather Pride 2026 Contestant: Apex Ember (he/him)

Mr. Wisconsin Leather Pride 2026 Contestant: Apex Ember (he/him)

From a small town in central Wisconsin Apex Ember is a leather boy who is a pup who has a heart for family and loves to support and help his community. Apex enjoys traveling and being among friends and chosen family when visiting big cities and small towns. He enjoys traveling on weekends and visiting new places and visiting new sights and coffee shops. His passion for flagging red and raising awareness for safe and fun fisting is one of his that he takes pride in, as not only can it be intimate with 2 people, but it can be as fun by yourself with toys and among a group of any size as there is no body size limit to fisting and stretching. Apex still enjoys puns to this day especially when in a fisting session as the puns are limitless, although some of them can be a bit of a stretch.

Fetish Title Contestants

Wisconsin Pet 2026 Contestant: Pup Bravuro (he/him)

I'm a ditzy service Pup (Bra-voo-row) with aspirations focused on community involvement and self-improvement. As a human, I'm generally shy and anxious with new people; however, in my Pup headspace, I'm more outgoing, and always welcome head and back scratches. 

I've been publicly involved with the Pet community since late 2022 and started Fox Valley Pets, Furries, and Handlers (née Paws of the Fox Valley) originally as a regular Petluck gathering in December 2024. I was the winner of the 2024 Pet Bowl and achieved the first alternate for 2025 Wisconsin Pet.

Over the past three years, I've blurred the line between my Pup and human sides which has helped push me further outside my comfort zone all while allowing me to meet people and other Pets. 

Wisconsin Fetish 2026 Contestant: Pup Sabre / Spartan (he/him)

Hi, I’m Spartan, a proud member of the Wisconsin Leather Community and a dragon/wolf hybrid pup who walks with authenticity, resilience, and heart. My journey has been shaped by challenges, including those that come with living as a neurodivergent person, but I believe those very challenges are what give me the strength and perspective to lead and inspire others. Leather has given me a sense of belonging, family, and empowerment, and I wish to give back by uplifting others who may feel unseen, unheard, and or underestimated. Through visibility, education, and community connection, my goal is to show that no matter your walk
