(Updated - June 2026)

I came here initially to indulge in the stories. Nothing more. Nothing less.

A few weeks after joining Lush, I decided to publish a story. Then another. And before I knew it, I had published a dozen stories.

I am guessing some of you stumbled here after reading one of my stories. If not - shameless plug - please check them out. For those of you who have, thank you for reading. To anyone who has liked or favorited my stories, thank you so much! As an amateur scribe, the support means more than you can imagine. I appreciate any and all feedback, both publicly via comments or privately via messages.

I am interested in connecting with others here, for friendship and possibly more. If you reach out, please give me something to work with.

Interested in role play? Cyber? Let’s talk. What do I enjoy? Check out the gifs on my profile. Read my stories.

I am in my mid-50’s, but am often told that I look significantly younger. Fintech executive by day, smut author by night. Former CrossFit junkie, powerlifter, and rock climber. I still work out regularly, with a focus on functional fitness. I have a lean / muscular build, similar to several World Cup players. Happily married. My extra-curricular activities fall under “don’t ask, don’t tell”. If you are curious, I am open to share more.

If I had to choose two phrases to describe myself, I would go with ‘nearly insatiable libido’ and ‘endlessly curious’. When it comes to D/s, I am 100% on the Dom side of the equation. I can seamlessly shift from sweet and nurturing to rough, dominate, and edgy, depending on the situation. While I tend to gravitate towards women in my age range (mid 40’s to mid-50’s), I would be open to exploring age gap fantasies with the right woman.

I am attracted to women who are intelligent, adventurous, articulate, submissive, and sassy. I appreciate words, so show me what you can do with them. Like most people here, I have a full life that is important to me. That doesn’t mean I won’t make time and give you the attention you crave. Balance is important to me.
