Above all else, I am Lady Catherine’s devoted faithful servant. Baltimore/DC area is home since 2009/2010. I am the producer of Twisting Culture, host of the Northeast Person of Leather contest, board member of SouthEast LeatherFest (SELF), and treasurer of F.I.S.T. I relocated to Baltimore from the Denver area. While in the Denver area I served as a long term facilitator of COLLAR. I was fortunate enough to volunteer for Thunder in the Mountains dungeon build crew for many years. The last few years I was in Denver, I lead the design and build of what at the time was the largest dungeon west of the Mississippi at Thunder in the Mountains. I was a founding member of MAsT-Denver, and an active member of several different versions of the Labyrinth as well as the Sanctuary and other groups in the Rocky Mountain region. I have been a proud piercer at The Colorado Danse of Life, a traditional hook pull. I also enjoy teaching a variety of leather lifestyle skills. I hold dear to heart the matter of human dignity including health, belonging, and having/giving space for personal freedom/expression. I believe these basics are urgently needed in the world. More importantly, I believe in hope. I believe we have the capacity to impact or even change our personal world reach. I believe, as able, we should attempt to hold hope and open hearts for our now and our future for both ourselves and the entire lot of us! If you see me out and about, please introduce yourself, I would love to meet you.
