Since moving back home to San Francisco in 2005, David has become an active part of the SOMA (South of Market) leather scene. 

David has worked with various leather organizations to help promote activities and events, and he founded MenInGear.com, a local, grass roots group encouraging men to get out, and meet up, face to face, in gear. 

After the success of MeninGear, he realized there was a need for a bar that catered to leather folk.  Although David had a full time professional career, he's always enjoyed bartending, and began thinking about opening a leather, gear and kink bar.

At the end of 2007, David and his partner, Steven Abramson, began the challenging process of purchasing a bar on Folsom Street that was formerly home to the Ramrod (1968-1983) and My Place (1984-2004).

Opening April 4, 2008, the bar features no microphones, no cover, no fundraisers and no contests Friday through Sunday.  The bar has hosted groups such as HotBoots and B&B Corps, and is featuring (or will soon feature) theme nights such as cowboys, skins & punks, sports gear, and bikers.

In Spring 2008, David founded the SOMA Bar & Business Guild with a focus to build existing business and start new businesses that will bring more foot traffic to SOMA.  From Mr. S to the Lone Star, to Off Ramp Leathers to Truck, all businesses have committed to working together and promoting each other, and developing new event weekends to continually build business in the SOMA district.
