ABOUT

Industrial Music has captivated me since I was a kid. I would stay up late into the night, pretending to be asleep, and listen to the strange, gritty, heavy electronic music coming over an obscure radio program. It felt like a secret - a dark side of music that normal people didn't know about.

In 2004, I started Dreamtime Media as my music promotion company. I hosted a weekly radio show called Signal/Noise, as well as regular industrial club nights at the University of Wisconsin - Parkside. During my time there, I also booked several major shows, including the Sound+Fury mini-festivals. Artists I've booked include Razed In Black, Covenant, Rotersand, Bella Morte, as well as local heroes Caustic and Sensuous Enemy.

Why the "fox" moniker?

When I went through junior leader training in Boy Scouts, I was assigned to the Fox Patrol. Ever since then, I've identified with the fox as sort of a spirit animal. As I grew older and started exploring the LGBTQ+ leather and kink scenes, I realized there was more to it.

I was introduced to Pup Play through friends at International Mister Leather many years ago, and watched the scene grow so much in that time. For most of it, I felt like an outsider - not a pup, but pup-adjacent.

As I became more comfortable with my identity, I realized that I could just BE a fox in the Pup scene.

In September of 2024, I entered and won the Mr. Milwaukee Leather contest. As a Title Holder, I am an ambassador for the leather and fetish scene in Milwaukee. My goal is to help others to learn and grow more confident in themselves, while becoming more invested and knowledgeable about the leather community myself.
