Joseph Macchia

Mr. Eagle NYC 2018

Joseph was born and raised in NYC. Seven years ago he walked into The Eagle and knew he found a home and a safe place. He began his leather journey in 2014 when he competed for the Mr. Eagle title. Joseph is into rope bondage, flogging, and CBT. Having worn many hats, he has been in the entertainment industry for 20 years, booking cabaret acts and producing shows. When not working in entertainment he is a freelance floral designer and an event planner. He volunteers for Broadway Cares Equity Fights AIDS and has raised funds for them. Twelve years ago Joseph decided to work with Children living with HIV & AIDS. He met a little boy who was living with HIV, AIDS and Cerebral Palsy. He was in need of a new motorized wheelchair and government agencies had failed him. It was then that Joseph founded “Help Is On The Way Today,” a not-for-profit that helps babies, children, and youth living with HIV and AIDS. Being a cancer survivor, Joseph is uniquely qualified to speak about cancer awareness. He lives his life with one belief; it does not take money or fame to make a difference “Just A Voice And A Belief.” His journey continues.
