Who am I?
The Basics
Well, how to start I suppose, I have been in this lifestyle for some time now (starting from around 2003). Though I am young, I have gathered a lot of knowledge and skills, through hard work and practice and I am certainly not afraid to learn something new, or to improve my existing skills.
Now, my childhood isn't particularly exciting, so you'll get the broad strokes. I was born and raised in Bolton, England, did rather well in school and attended one of the foremost Secondary schools in the country. I moved to the United States in January 2000, graduated High school and slowly started attending dance clubs and large scale (non fetish) events in Hollywood and Los Angeles.
I began to get involved in the BDSM scene around 2003, when I learned of Club Dungeon in Hollywood. It was a hell of an experience, seeing everyone on stage and performing elaborate scenes to loud bass industrial music.
I knew I was home.
I attended Dungeon regularly until it's final days at Club Blue and since then I have been in and out of the public scene, tending to favour more private scenes in an effort to improve my skills before they are put on public display.
Every man is free to rise as far as he's able or willing, but it's only the degree to which he thinks that determines the degree to which he'll rise.

Philosophy
I'm constantly striving to be as involved in the community as possible, by attending meetings and important gatherings, keeping myself up to date on current events and seeing how I can help out.
I understand and follow both lifestyle philosophies, S.S.C (Safe Sane and Consensual) and R.A.C.K, (Risk Aware Consensual Kink),both to make play between Myself and others is as safe as possible and ensure consensuality.
I do my best to educate others, especially my play partners, so they can play safely and be a positive impact on the lifestyle, instead of setting a bad example and potential hurting themselves and/or others.

and lastly an interesting comparison between both,
An important thing to remember is that these ideas are merely guidelines, there is not set of rules that make you a Dominant, submissive or switch. Find your own path that connects with you and makes you and your partner happy.
Just make sure you're safe!
