Fred Anderson is the current International Mr. Olympus Leather 2015-2016 and Great Plains Mr. Olympus Leather 2015. He bought his first leather vest from Shades of Grey in Dallas back in 2002 and has met many wonderful people who have helped him along his leather journey.

An avid cigar aficionado and bootblack, Fred likes to teach others about Cigar play and Cigar Service, as well as bootblacking and leathercare. He's also pinned into Mama's Family as "Mama's Cigar Aficionado".  A former Gulf Coast Community Bootblack in 2008, he tries to help others care for and maintain their leather. He's had the opportunity to teach at events,  held positions of leadership in the local and international leather organizations, bootblack for contests and be a part of many organizations such as Mr. Friendly in helping reduce the stigma of HIV.

The biggest change since winning International Mr. Olympus Leather is the number of events he's attended throughout his title year. Trying to travel nearly every weekend of the year and attending local, regional and International Leather contests, he has sought to bring back visibility and a presence with Olympus Leather through volunteering and social media.
