I have a standing rule with my coworkers. "Don't ask me about my private life, or I WILL tell you, and it's probably an HR violation." Same thing applies here. If you keep reading past this paragraph, you may or may not like what you see. If so, GREAT! If not, oh well.
I've been part of the Bay Area goth scene for well over a decade and a half, making appearances at Death Guild, Bondage-a-Go-Go, and The Box on an infrequent basis. I also help run a BDSM dungeon/goth club called "House of Nox" quarterly down in Santa Cruz.
I'm a computer geek who makes his living in the tech field, in spite of being certified as a clinical hypnotherapist (there's more money in computers, but more satisfaction in hypnotherapy... Unfortunately, the Bay Area is expensive, and satisfaction doesn't pay the bills).
I'm a kinkster with a fist full of fetishes (If you're interested, ask). I'm a shibari rigger that has trained with Two Knotty Boys and with Midori (though rope is more a performance art thing for me than it is sexual).
I'm an unrepentant gamer geek who enjoys everything from my weekly Vampire: the Masquerade LARP, to miniatures wargaming.
I weave chainmail as a hobby. I mostly do jewelry (Like collars and restraints for kinky people), but I do armor grade work as well (I'm currently working on a cowl and half-sleeve in a Japanese weave, using a mix of jump rings and lock washers, to hang off my leather jacket for Wasteland Weekend).
I wear kilts often, and boots most of the time, and have long hair down to the small of my back. I'm a pretty big guy, and I'm not in the greatest of shape, but I hit the gym pretty regularly, so I am working to improve myself at least.
