Cameron “Triq” (Illinois Cub 25) is a proud representative of the Bear community, known for his playful energy, chaotic-neutral charm, and dedication to service. As a Den Daddy, contestant handler, and chaos coordinator, he thrives on making sure others feel supported, seen, and celebrated.

Triq’s journey into the Bear, Leather, and Pet communities was rooted in the acceptance he found there—spaces where he was never told he didn’t belong. Now, as Illinois Cub 2025, he channels that spirit forward by helping to create safe, inclusive, and joyful experiences at more than two dozen community events each year.

His motto, “One is glad to be of service,” reflects not just a phrase, but a way of life—whether he’s guiding contestants, organizing fundraisers, or rallying energy at events. For Triq, being Cub isn’t just about holding a title; it’s about lifting up others, embracing mayhem with a smile, and proving that community care is the heart of our shared family.
