Board of Directors

President

Mx. Lenore (they/them)

Mx Lenore (they/them) is a nonbinary queer Dom/Top from Cleveland, Ohio. Their biggest passion within the community is creating safe and inclusive spaces for ALL kinksters. They believe that kink is for everyone, regardless of gender, sexuality, identity, or expression. Kink should be accesible to everyone regardless of physical abilities, disabilities, experience and skill level. Their goal for QUICK is to foster a safe and fun space for ALL queers and allies.

They have given classes and demos on multiple kink skills, as well as consent and negotiations. They are a member of and and volunteer with multiple local kink groups, and are driven to foster connections and build bridges between the different Cleveland communities. They serve on a consent review board for another area kink organization.

They organize many queer-centered events, including Sapphic play parties, queer play parties, munches, and socials. They also host advanced edge play parties, where people can explore their heavier and darker kinks in a safe environment. They founded the Cleveland Critter Club, which is a group with a pet play focus and is welcoming to all pets, critters, and Handlers of all identities, genders, and orientations. They have been lovingly nicknamed "The Zookeeper" by all the critters, and have fallen in love with being in that caretaker role.

Kinky Interests: Non-rope bondage, duct tape, mummification, D/s, protocol, pet play, fist topping,  edging and orgasm control, impact play, objectification, sensory play and deprivation, medical play and needle play.

Non-kinky interests: They are a respected and educated leader and mentor in their job in health care. They are a fan of horror movies, documentaries, ghost stories, conspiracy theories, cryptids (mothman especially), haunted places, historical sites, libraries, museums, cemeteries, and all things dark and creepy. When they are not organizing events, they are reading something new, creating art, or playing music.

Secretary

Dikaia (he/him)

Alpha Pup Dikaia, PhD first got involved in the Ohio leather and furry communities in 2018 and has since become an avid kink educator and outspoken community leader. As Mr. Ohio Leather 2024 and member of IML Class 47, he has found and mentored many up-and-coming leather leaders while being a vocal opponent of nepotism in leather communities. Drawing on his roots in academia, he has also worked to provide high-quality and accessible education regarding leather, kink, and fetish to learners of all knowledge levels, including several educational sessions at Cleveland Leather Annual Weekend (CLAW) and the International Puppy and Trainer Contest (IPTC).

He currently serves as a Board Member for CLAW and founded a monthly kink discussion group at the Case Western Reserve University LGBT Center. He currently serves as Treasurer for the Rangers and is an Associate Member of the Iron Eagles, Midnight Howl, HOIST, the Conductors, and the Windy City Pups and Handlers. He also co-founded the Ohio Leather Society—a grassroots organization dedicated to fostering sustainable and ethical leather leadership in Ohio—with his boyfriend and beta pup, Atlas. Dikaia firmly believes that the leather, kink, and fetish communities should be accessible to all and advocates that new community members be welcomed regardless of their level of experience or gear ownership.

JCub works as a Data Analyst and is currently completing an Accounting Certificate from Columbus State Community College.

Education/Outreach Director

Daddy Charlie (he/they)

Daddy Charlie comes from a small town in rural Ohio and after having a rough entry into the Kink/BDSM world in his early 20’s, he swore off Kink & BDSM Culture until his early 30’s. 

When QUICK was founded they watched it grow for about 6 months before dipping his toe back into the Kinky Waters, and it was a night to day shift between what they had experienced in their 20’s and what was currently going on. He dove in head first, self teaching flogging, paddling, and other impact skills, as well as trying out new things like rigging (which he was so-so at) and electro play (which is one of the few things he prefers to sub at). 

He has co-hosted the (now) weekly QUICK Thursday demo nights and socials at The Leather Stallion for over 2 years, and is responsible for them now being a weekly event. He teaches and provides impact demos using the Saint Andrews Cross, which was bought by QUICK for the bar in 2024. They are one of the featured Demo artists during Stallion’s monthly ‘Gear Nights’ and have recently started the process towards becoming a member of the Cleveland Chapter of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence as a Guard. He spends most of ‘Pride in the CLE’ at the QUICK booth, where he talks about QUICK, its weekly programming and Monthly play parties. 

Daddy Charlie was Great Lakes Handler 2024, where only 2 people competed (1 Pup, 1 Handler) and judged the Great Lakes Pet, Pup & Handler 2025 contest where of the 9 contestants he had worked with getting 6 of them to sign up. He has since judged Great Lakes Pet, Pup & Handler 2025, Sync & Destory Vol 1, Great Lakes Leather Bear Pride and Great Lakes Boy, Sir & Miss 2026. When he is not prepping to be a Kink/Leather Judge, he has enjoyed helping his friends prep to compete (and win) multiple titles such as Cleveland Person of Gear, Mr. Cleveland Leather and Mr. Rustbelt Leather. 

He is also QUICK's Social Media Director!

Non-kink interests: Outside of kink and working his day job, Daddy Charlie enjoys writing scripts, doing costume designs and playing D&D (Paladin Main!) as well as living his authentic queer life with his Husband (former QUICK President Neo) and their 2 cats, Selina & Firestar. 

Kinky Interests: Pet Play (as a Handler), Daddy/Son, Degrader, Electro Play (as a switch), Impact Play (as a Top predominant Switch) and Cruising FLEX Spa.
