DungeonMaster Mark

Well, I’ve been kinky since an early age, somewhat of a lifelong Spanko. I have been in the Portland Kink scene for over 20 years now, and I am still contributing to the local community in a number of ways. My kink resume includes 5 years as overall KinkFest Director, 4 years as PLA Vice President, 10 years running and operating the Red Cheeks Club, 4 years as Educator in the Valhalla Education Group as well as many additional classes. I recently was asked to serve as President on the PLA Board of Directors ans held that post until 2022, when I resigned from that responsibility. Head DM and Volunteer DM for KinkFest on many occasions, Host and run the monthly Kink Night’s at The Velvet Rope Club, and continue to Own and Direct SummerSpank, now in its 11th year, after my business partner, Mistress Valhalla retired. I also make Rattan Canes and own Red Cheeks Toys, vending leather whips, floggers and other impact toys, and Dungeon Furniture.

I find great enjoyment teaching new peeps the safe ways to play and have fun in the scene, and I am passionate about putting on Kinky events. I will continue to give back to the wonderful, local community which has helped me and mine get through some tough medical issues. Personally, I lean heavily in the Dominant side of the spectrum, and can often be found Topping others at local events. I enjoy a Daddy/girl, monogamous relationship with my wife and partner of 33 years.

David

David S. has been a member of the kink scene since 2012 with needle play being one of the earliest kinks he explored. He started being almost exclusively a bottom/submissive with some time spent as a "medical sadist". That is, he enjoyed helping people by hurting them. He is now a switch who enjoys both being a top and bottom.

The Huntsman

I have been active in the Portland kink community as participant for the last ten years.

Early on I started taking every BDSM related class I could find. I started volunteering at events as a Dungeon Monitor. For the last seven years you could find me at just about any event in the greater Portland area helping out as a DM..

I expanded my BDSM education and quickly started passing on the things I have learned to others. During this time I helped teach the BDSM 101 classes taught by the Valhalla Education group lead by Mistress Valhalla. The topics I have taught include basic flogging, basic rope ties, fire cupping , dungeon etiquette/negotiations, and I once taught an age play class at Summer Spank .

I received formal training as an instructor during the time I served as Chief Hunter Education instructor for the State of Washington. My objective was certifying students so they may purchase a hunting license for the first time. . I spent ten years as a volunteer teacher. I organized ,scheduled ,facilitated my classes with the help of a small teaching team. I taught thousands of students during this time.

Though I have never actually taught the Violet Wand class before this ,I do have a great understanding of it's history, safety protocols, general practice ,and how it has been popularized by the kink community.

I have used a violet wand as part of my play many times over the years. I have participated in a number of violet wand classes and feel I am very confident in my abilities to pass on the information in a very complete and professional manner.

Michelle (little_m_pdx) & Charlie (cuBBy)

Have been in the Portland scene since 2000. They have previously been active volunteers and team members for KinkFest and volunteered for many different events throughout Portland. Michelle was a professional ABDL mommy and had the most popular "house" in the PNW (mommys-place) for three years before Covid.

Both Michelle and Charlie were trained and mentored in Fire Play & Cupping by Mistress Valhalla, who has now retired and passed the (figurative) torch.

Champ (The Kilted Heathen) & Rain (Rain Stormm)

Champ and Rain have a combined 50+ years in the lifestyle. They both came in as teenagers and have enjoyed their journeys as their paths finally brought them together 5 years ago. Both grew up in the Portland scene, but currently reside in the Tacoma area. They are excited to get into the education side of Kink and BDSM as they feel it is time to pass their knowledge on to the next generation. They regularly attend monthly cigar socials and their local MAsT meetings in the Tacoma area.

Champ is a second generation kinkster, specializing in whips, floggers and other styles of impact play. At a ripe age of 18 his mother brought him into the scene to help vend at many different events (ask him about Folsom, it’s his favorite story). He has participated in many events from Folsom Street Fair to KinkFest and Fetish Flea. He has proudly served both in the regular Army and the National Guard for the past 15 years, with two deployments, one in Afghanistan, the other in Djibouti (don’t ask him where Djibouti is).

Rain came into the lifestyle at a young age. She has a medical background and has worked as an advocate in domestic abuse shelters for many years. She has many years’ experience in crises management, conflict resolution, DV/SA support in a variety of settings. She enjoyed many years in performance, cabaret and public speaking. She is deeply interested in education, trauma informed care/kink, communication, authority/energy transfer, protocol and dynamic, ritual and pagan spirituality.
