Rake is a real live, honest-to-goodness ex-boy scout, trained rigger, former schooner (a boat with lots of ropes) sailor and an all around nice guy. Usually.

On the other hand, he has also been introduced as “an evil genius disguised as a teddy bear”.

Since arriving in Sydney ten years ago, he has been a visible and active member of the community, tying people up (whenever they stand still long enough) at Hellfire, über, The Chamber, The Sensual Ball, HCH, and other nefarious places.

He’s passionate about kink education, helping organize education events here in Sydney, and has taught workshops on theory and practice, rope, flogging, fire play, and other kinky topics locally at über, QC, The Couples Club, and The Gathering. Equally as important, he attends workshops regularly to hone and broaden his knowledge and skills.

Before moving to Sydney, he was active in the NYC kink scene, where he quickly became friends with fellow bondage enthusiasts, assisting and teaching workshops, organizing events and even judging bondage competitions.

Rake is looking forward to corrupting more people into the wonderfully evil ways of kink, and especially rope.
