Presenter Bio

Tom has been around the DC kink community for over 20 years. He is a Black Rose Emeritus Board Member, Crucible manager, and event photographer. You will just as likely find him working behind a desk as you will find him lovingly hurting friends. He was born and raised in the Northern VA area and currently lives with his wonderful wife, multiple kittens and an older pupper. Always there is far too much to do and too little time to do it.

Humiliation and power exchange were the catalysts which got him into the BDSM community in the first place. From some very confusing teen years, into realizing he greatly wanted to actually engage in this kind of thing, it was always there as part of what he wanted to do. Tom loves to put on his ‘helpful’ hat and give useful or “useful” ideas to those that want to play with these sorts of things.

His other passion is photography. If there is a camera allowed, you will almost always find Tom behind the lens. Going by the name ShutterDoll, he loves to be able to capture a moment, a memory, or just an excellent whip strike.
