Dungeon Master Mark
Originally from the UK, Dungeon Master Mark has been living in Oregon since '92, and is an active member of the local Portland BDSM community since '99.
DM Mark is currently serving as Vice-President on the Board of Directors for the Portland Leather Alliance and has been on the Board of Directors since '09 as well as Dungeon Master for KinkFest 2010, Chairman & Director for KinkFest 2011, Dungeon Master for KinkFest 2012 and Dungeon Master and Co-Organizer for numerous PLA parties and functions. DM Mark also owns and runs the Red Cheeks Club and hosts the regular monthly play parties. DM Mark is a trained Dungeon Monitor, certified by the Dungeon Monitors Association.
DM Mark has taught classes on and off for the last 5 years, on topics such as Impact play & BDSM 101, "The Delicious Art of Caning", Dungeon Etiquette and Behavior as well as role playing and relationship mentoring and advice.
In DM Mark's own words...
"I attended one of those "traditional" boys schools where caning was a weekly if not daily occurrence, and thus my fascination with the cane and the spectacle of a bottom bent over and displayed was born at an early age. Until I discovered the wonderful world of BDSM, I genuinely thought I was kind of perverted to relish the sound and sight of a good thrashing to a bare bottom, and if "they" had discovered my games at the age of 7 when I managed to persuade the neighborhood girls to indulge in spanking games with me, I would likely have been locked up and certified as not fit to join society!!
I first started teaching others impact play back in 2005, when we started the Red Cheeks Club. For the early years, there were more in-experienced members than experienced ones, so I naturally started teaching those less experienced, in how to play safely, with skill and have fun. Since then I have taught many individuals and groups the art of Impact play, especially Caning, Dungeon Etiquette and behavior, as well as mentored those trying to start relationships or learn about roles in the BDSM lifestyle.
I am Dom and Daddy to my wife/little girl, we have two children and a plethora of pets. I have an over active sense of humor, and I'm very approachable, come and say hello."

Matt - Pumpmaker
Matt (Pumpmaker) is a kinkily creative and sensuously adventurous renaissance guy. His natural curiosity and detail-oriented nature have motivated him to become intimately familiar with whatever topic catches his interest and if it happens to be of a sensual nature, all the better!
Close to thirty years of self employment have led him down paths as a master woodworker, teacher, designer, artist, massage therapist/healer, accomplished singer, musician, and voice actor. Matt's love for the sensual arts has coalesced with his creativity and skill and is at the core of who he has become. This is instantly clear to anyone who talks with Matt about the sensual aspects of living.
Early in his life, Matt discovered the joys of pumping and hasn't wavered in his passion for it for one moment. He built his first pump at 17 and has been honing the design of pumps and investigating the science of genital pumping/vacuum therapy ever since. With a some very voluntary help from his friends and lovers as test subjects, he has refined and redefined the standard for vacuum therapy toys and tools.
NaughtyPumps.com was launched in 2009 and has over 2000 very satisfied customers in 36 states, every Canadian province and 28 countries across the globe. NaughtyPumps' patented designs include pussy cups, clit cups, nipple cups, breast cups, cock tubes, cock&ball tubes, FTM cups/tubes, and MTF cups/tubes.
Matt's mission is to dispel the preconceived notions about genital pumping and educate others on just how enjoyable it can be for everyone. -Most importantly that PUMPING IS FUN!!! From orgasm enhancement to body modification, pumping has gone largely unrecognized because of the general perception that it is solely intended for penis enlargement. -Nothing could be farther from the truth. Although pumping is the only non-chemical treatment for erectile dysfunction, its uses for male and female enjoyment are plentiful as well. The vast number of pumping applications in scene play has been mostly undiscovered also. Matt's workshop will inform and educate through the use of multi-media and live assistants.

Rupert Huse
Rupert Huse has been a full time manufacturer and inventor of SM equipment for the past 15 years since founding his company Rupert Huse & Son, Inc.. Among some of his inventions are things many take for granted as common place today. The spider gag, locking dental gags, multi row pinwheels hollow butt plugs and ass stretching rings were all Rupert Huse inventions of over a decade ago. With a special focus on electrical play, among the innovations Rupert brought to the SM world were the first solid metal contact electrodes for insertion and the first violet wand for SM use with other than purple electrodes. Although electrical equipment constitutes a subset of Rupert's efforts it has a special place due to his background as an electrical engineer.
The unusual and things that Rupert is passionate about have always been the ethos of his manufacturing. This has been reflected in the unique approach of his website, Huse Dot Com. Non standard models, i.e. women who are beyond a size 4, the first use of tranz models in SM product shoots and non standard photo technique and web site design all reflect this. All photography and web design is done by Rupert and if it isn't of personal interest he will neither manufacture it nor photograph it.
Rupert's latest creation is a production version of the Pear Gag. Made entirely in house at Rupert Huse & Son, the gag involves machining, welding and bronze casting in its production. It is the only known lever type Pear Gag in production in the world today. Since it encompasses such an astonishing range of skills, tools and techniques to produce it, the fact that it is being made in one shop makes it representative of the significant achievements in craftsmanship Rupert is known for.

JD & Dan began teaching their interactive workshops in 1999, combining a light-hearted humorous style with the educational precision of experienced instructors and lifestyle Doms. Creators of more than 120 free instructional videos, Dan and JD are also the authors of two best selling bondage instruction books, "Two Knotty Boys Showing You the Ropes" and "Two Knotty Boys Back on the Ropes." They’ve also been featured on Playboy TV's programs, "Sexcetera" and "69 Sexy Things to Do Before You Die," have taught at international bondage workshops and appeared in countless live performances. Their interviews and rope bondage rigging have also been seen in fetish magazines in North America, Japan (Sniper) and Germany (Bondage Magazine) and adorning models in the work of world-renown fetish photographers including Ken Marcus, Eric Kroll, Michael Blue, Z. Maitri, and on numerous
bondage web sites.
Special announcement! This Year marks our 12th year as a bondage instruction team! We have also announced that on July 1, 2012, we will be retiring from teaching Two Knotty Boys workshops, so this is the last chance ever to see us at a West coast event outside of San Francisco.
