Switch Jake has been involved with the BDSM community since 2001, bringing over 25 years of experience and 20 classes to the scene. As an avid educator, he has taught 97 classes in 28 cities the United States and Canada at various BDSM conventions and groups. Since his first presentation in 2012, over 14 years ago, he has striven to increase knowledge and acceptance of alternative lifestyles, even teaching at colleges and vanilla establishments to shine a favorable light on the community.
Locally, Switch Jake is a staple at The Denver Sanctuary. He trains Dungeon Monitors, acts as a house manager, leads the TNG party, runs discussion groups, and teaches whenever the need arises. He jokingly says that if the Sanctuary had an apartment, he’d live there.
On the organizational side, he has been a Director for HECK since 2024. Additionally, he hosts the BDSM podcast "Kink in the Chain" under the pseudonym Rope Squirrel, where he gives relationship advice and interviews people of importance within the kink community.
Switch Jake is thankful for everything the community has given him and is excited to be here to share his knowledge.
