Awwwww! If there’s an annual or bi-annual ‘Tristan Thread’ then perhaps there had to be the bi-annual or annual RESPONSE to it! Absolutely swooning in the compliments; appreciate all of you so very much who have supported me over the years. I have never attempted to be the same as some of my colleagues- whose business model is to pack an absurd amount of clients into one day, fill themselves up with money like the cheeks of a chipmunk, then disappear for weeks. My model is slow but steady, only a couple a day at max- and that allows me my other obligations to the Army and to family / dogs / regular job. Communication with me can suck; and I will state that in advance…but as all of you who stayed the course have seen; I never do people wrong. As far as not being everyone’s type; oh well. Some people on this forum also strive for guys that perpetual con artists and hustlers, or because a guy is 22 and ‘less touched’, his value increases? ROFLMAO. Alright, let me know how that works out when he leaves after 35 minutes or doesn’t show up period, demands deposits, or blackmails you down the line when he’s desperate for 👌. I feel better at 41 then I did in my early 30s; and what you bring to a session as an escort is more important between your ears, as between your legs or the biceps on your arms. Time and experience shape perspective; and I am thankful to all my ‘mentors’ out there for helping craft mine. Love you all! ❤️ ‘TB’ / Jordan

Good morning all! Thanks so much for the kind words- a friend(I don't use the word 'client' regularly, because I feel most of my 'clients' end up becoming friends to some extent....a few more so than others 😉), told me I was being discussed...and he set the hookl, requiring me to come on and actually check it....so here I am. Couple quick updates to explain the absence...because I'm not sure if I made them earlier. My Father, after his longstanding health issues...did end up passing away back in late May....and that obviously threw me for a hard loop, given how close I was to him. Ironing out his house, his taxes, his estate- all of that is nearly a full time job; thankfully my brother took the point on that. In order to keep myself focused on something, I ended up becoming invested in a Veterans Parachute Demonstration Team- which performs at airshows, commemorative events like Normandy D-Day invasion, you name it. The primary role of this is fundraising for the care of the WWII Veterans still alive, and to give them an audience to still be heard and valued..and it's one of the best programs I've been involved with in my life. Am absolutely still escorting- and will kick up the road game slightly in the coming months- needed to get the calendar of events for air shows a bit clearer, so that I could build escort trips around them. Double duty for me, as always LOL. A genuine thank you to all of you who have continued to be concerned for my well being; whether I'm in the industry still or not.....that speaks volumes to YOUR character, even more so than mine. With so many great friends from this facet of my life out there in the US and the World, don't expect me to be retiring soon....I'm still in this fight! LOL

You're not hanging up anything.....there are records still to be set! 2:15 Seconds in....What Ace's Mindset Should really be...

Hey guys! Finally reactivated my account on here- as we know, I don't logon this as much, as I transition to the half escorting / half real world job situation. Dad's in a full nursing home now...so my travel might be picking up slightly. In addition, Jetblue's partnership with American has been a godsend...have nothing but great things to say about that airline... With that being said, I'll be out on the West Coast 4/16-4/20, with the intention of stopping by the pool party in PS 1PM-?PM on the 16th; but the rest of the schedule is contingent on a few variables. Will keep you all posted but I intend to at least show face out there, let Ace TAKE my ASS(😝) and catch up! Regards, Jordan

Most certainly will be attending the dinner at night and the pool party the next day….but only to eat my fill of your food, @Epigonos…certainly not under ANY CIRCUMSTANCE because I wanted to see you 😏❤️

Posted in Oliver’s Calendar section as well- in San Fran the 3 days before the weekend, but will be out in Palm Springs, Saturday, Sunday, and probably Monday. Looking forward to seeing you all!

LOL. My biggest proponent and MAN PIMP….who loves hearing and knowing that I’m neck…wrist…and dick more than half deep in action with other gentlemen. Now that I’ve got LA and Texas under my belt, with another LA scheduled in February…..you don’t know how bad I want to go back to doing this full time. My days of waking up to prowl travel deals and glance at the calendar and mark shit down are coming circular again…=) As we speak I’m framing shit around being able to make it out to Palm Springs. Hope you all are having a stellar morning.

(Apologies in advance for the long winded one…it’s the end of the night and who knows when I’ll get on here next…) Well…..a perfect time for me to actually inject myself into this conversation! Like a bad family dinner that just changes moods INSTANTLY when you start talking about the black sheep in the family…! The COVID conversation is never going to be a fun one, on ANY side of the fence. A wiser escort once told me…never vent your true feelings about politics or any of their derivatives on this forum…because you’ll immediately ostracize half(or more) of the people who regularly post. In addition, he said the best posture was to assume that everyone here is better educated, and has more diverse life experiences then you. Well, he was absolutely correct on the latter- I find that the average person I’ve connected with from here is a standout, on virtually any rubric you use. On the former…he broke his own rule of wisdom and promptly got himself banned for clashing with the previous forum owner. So anyhow….now that we’ve got that little ‘aside’ about politics and it’s ugly stepchild Coronavirus out of the way(I’ll comment once on it by saying it forcibly changed my life…but probably for the better, in the long run), I’d like to just give a tremendous ‘Thank You’ to all of those who commented for me ‘in absentia’, by keeping my little memories alive and well. Physically- I feel I’m in great shape; having a more grounded life and the ability to control your meals makes for a huge difference. Negatively offsetting a lot of these physical ‘gains’, is clearly the fact that I’ve drank to a far larger amount during COVID, then prior. Coping mechanism. However, I’d like to think I have it under control; as I have to function 5-6 days a week as a well driller / installer; and then a night or two dancing. Factor in 1-3 clients if I’m able to accommodate….and it’s a life. Not a great life; but tons of potential for a future in the company(owned by one of my best friends, a fucking stud himself IMO). He’s nearly doubled his numbers since I came onboard, while also lowering his advertising budget- because the repeat work from his past 7 years is snowballing with momentum. Each year will get progressively better, as long as we stay sharp. For those of you around the country who’ve wanted to see me…trust me…I want to see you too. I wish I could be traveling around like I used to; but those days are most likely behind me. I may detach out a two 3 or 4 day jaunts a month to the larger areas, like San Fran, LA, Chicago, Florida, Chicago, or DC. Or, if those of you out there are able to get to NYC or Boston, I can come down with little to no problem, if you can host. Alternatively, if you are able to take the train to Hartford or have a car, you’re welcome at my house….if you can contend with two 12 lb. balls of fluff. Brave that gauntlet, and I’ll gladly entertain you with tons of free time, and a meal…nobody leaves this house without eating… Will try to find the time to get on here more….the web domain had seemed to shift, and I didn’t follow it as aggressively as I should have. Am back now- will certainly try to stay current! Much love to all of you for keeping this hobby as alive as possible. ❤️

I think Zeb more or less Retired from the business. Had a whale of a client who bankrolled a franchise of Protein House restaurants. You’ll see him at one of his Vegas locations from time to time. Food is healthy, but insanely overpriced and you could Never sustain eating there on the daily or several times a week. Clearly a place for yuppies who are trying to make New Years Resolution plans, then gonna get about a month in. Not too hard to copy the design of the ‘bowl’ meal plan though ?

I told people years ago that this guy was ‘bad money’ After three guys I know who can’t write reviews, had a miserable time with him, What happened subsequent to that? His volume INCREASES LOLLLLLLLL. Everyone thinks their session with the guy will somehow be different....?

My boss with the well pump company is a husky fuckin dude, good looking, straight(but super accepting and decent), and his biggest fault is that he just works 24/7....so he doesn’t eat right. I wrote it into my job description that I do all our meal prep, and we work out together, it’s a fairly honeymoon situation right now...working well for all of us....3 weeks in and he’s up 14 lbs on my program....and loving it. =) I anticipate OUTSTANDING gains working out with this guy, hoping to push through past 200...fuck 2020; but good things coming in 2021.

Hair is unfortunately shaved / skinned off after dancing gigs this weekend....but feeling like a SAVAGE as of late!

Truly appreciate that! Stay in touch! I’m doing my best to! Snow day here today! Maybe I’ll knock 50 emails off my return list, if I’m lucky and ambitious...LOL

One of the friendships I’ve actually built upon more during the quaratine....the semi retired Apollo Phoenix....who doesn’t advertise, but is honestly one of the funniest, most decent muscle guys I’ve ever hung out with in my day. What a fuckin’ rockstar....

Hey guys! Giving you a buzz from the bitter Northeast! A balmy 5* outside right now...and had to enjoy the amazingness of running an electric space heater next to the well pump and pressure tank to keep my pipes from freezing. Remind me again why anyone would want to live north of the Mason Dixon line in the US... Anyhow...! Just wanted to express my appreciation for all your thoughts and sentiments here...as well as especially a shout out to @Ace , Dane Scott(not letting me link to him????), @VictorPowers , @RyanChambers , who have all personally remained in contact with me throughout this thing. Not ‘fake nice’ neither, they’re the real deal and actually were concerned and wanted to compare plans of attack for getting through. None of us can afford to stand here with our heads buried in the sand like Ostriches, waiting for life to get better. Have been concentrating on my Dad’s health, work on the ‘regular side of the fence’, both with a home inspection license and installing well pumps. With that being said...now I’m not able to maintain the text relationships I’ve had with people on the far side of the world as much...and I have to kinda been ‘hands off’ of the cellphone during The day. By the time I get home, do the gym if I even have time....I’m getting behind worse and worse on texts. So my apologies to anyone who feels sleighted but theres only so many hours in the day. Will try to get on more, but make no promises on that end. This is going to be a changed world, and unfortunately I think travel is going to be increasingly difficult. Just saw a news article that Canada is freezing flights to the Caribbean until April...there goes the winter! This is literally going to be a 1.5+ yr time out on life, and most of us didn’t have that shelf life left...LOL. We all can’t be perennially beautiful like @Ace <3 Stand classsssssssy guys....and if you can’t...then fuckit....go full on PIG.

I’m really happy to see so many off these forum members embrace the idea of ‘second chances‘ / reading between the lines to see what’s really what, with a given situation. In sports, or with celebrities...we have all seen many a great man(or woman...) laid low, by the impact of substances, relationships, or a fast paced lifestyle. From my perspective; I’d rather focus not on what catalyst laid such a person low; but rather on what made that person GREAT to begin with. He’s redeemable ALL day long. Has anyone had any contact with him recently?

I was part of the post by AzDr0710 just a few minutes ago, occurring yesterday. As an escort, I’m not quick to endorse many of my contemporaries....because if I do and they end up being a bust, then it reflects negatively on me. Across 12 years of escorting, I’ve only really backed a handful of guys, and with that being said, these are my impressions of Ryan: -*Beyond intelligent and educated; well-spoken and a conversationalist is an understatement -Looks far better than his pictures we need to get him to a pro photographer -A VERBAL, aggressive bottom who was as clean as a whistle- concerned with his health and asked the right questions in the right manner, which is EXACTLY the type of guy I like connecting with. This wasn’t an “I’ll take every Tom Dick and Harry’ type escort, he’s discerning. -Tall, in great shape, and Hung. We had a great time, and I’d gladly consider this kid a friend going forward....he’s in my little Rat Pack! BTW...he’s an excellent cook on top of it. We sat down to a killer swordfish, asparagus,misc. Vegetable salad, rice,buffalo wings, and lord knows what else afterwards...everyone started cooking something and we almost had too much food! It was great!

I’d love a clarification from someone above that said ‘he pissed a lot of people off‘. Now, if he was out burning clients for money, taking their stuff for travel then not showing, it’d be one thing. However, I think he may have had some struggles / demons while in NYC, maybe even some cancelations....but I think there’s also people on here that would vouch for him and say that when he was on, he was ON- full of piss and vinegar, exuberance, and energy. I always found him to be brazen, cocky, and unfiltered...and I embrace those types of HONEST characters. He never deceived or tried to play another character, he was himself, love him or hate him. Furthermore, the ‘other’ type of person that he ‘pissed off’ was none other than race-baiting JD Daniels, who tried to make it sound like this kid was a racist. Killian did scenes with all types, had clients of All types(I know them PERSONALLY, I play with them too), and if you spent 20 minutes in a room with him you‘d see that he was educated, unbiased, and decent...he just operates his engine at 8000 RPM with NO Filter. Can’t wait to see a Killian 2.0 and back on course.

Pics from yesterday’s JFF vid; just trying to keep up in this time of...ugh...crisis.

Not just an ankle restraint. 4 way restraints, a blindfold, and very powerful, perfectly done Mimosas. Bartender has a great recipe, but he’s in Jersey, for all you wondering! ?

I don’t bottom very often....but I’d let that @Ace get Weird and Comical in me, virtually any day, WOOF. Have known him a decade- and honestly....that’s a household name of providers that should NEVER have to do a ‘show and tell’ just to get hired. The fact that he would; is because he knows he’d slam dunk any interview, any day. Guy steals the show EVERY year at Palm Springs from muscle guys, from power bottoms...he‘s just in a league of his own. There will never be another Ace!

Hey guys- know I’m VERY late to the gate in responding to this, but I wanted to take the time to thank each and every one of you- @Funguy @DMICS @azdr0710 @rvwnsd @carlos45 @Robster @whipped guy @playwrestler @easygoingpal @ArVaGuy @OliverSaks @Trick @latbear4blk @purplekow @g56whiz @Islesguy @m_writer @mike carey @BabyBoomer for all taking the time to wish me a happy birthday. Truly means the world to me that so many of you would take the time to remember it...even arrange for such amazing fireworks over the riverfront! And even arranged warm July-ish WEATHER for those fireworks to be shot during, given the picture! Sorry if I was distant to respond to it- my father’s health had kinda plummeted(as many of you know / having been amazingly generous with your thoughts / prayers towards him) ....so between that and Coronavirus it kinda hijacked my birthday this year. But it’s all good! We’re big boys...it happens! Thanks again guys...truly. Oh...and I find it Weird and Comical that my buddy Ace didn’t post here on the forums about it...but texted me 12 minutes after midnight(EST; my time) to bust my balls about it! LOL Love ya bud!

If only I could parlay a side career in Pinot Noir sales into this equation, it’d be a completely symbiotic relationship...I’d be going places for once. Speaking of which....1615 Business class on Qatar; JFK to Kiev. Ugh....I’m torn about not taking that...
