About
The Marine…
The
Marine came out in the back room of a San Jose leather
bar in 1990 and participated in the original Journeyman
Academy II back in 1995. In addition to facilitating at Vanguard Leather
retreats, she has taught classes for the Exiles, The
Citadel, Southwest Leather Conference, SM Odyssey, and
Dark Odyssey. A current member of Santa Clara County Leather
Association and The Exiles, The Marine is Vanguard’s
(and Lady Hilary’s) “Chief of Staff” facilitator, coach,
and communication expert.
How to lead from a place of service (also known as Servant
Leadership) is a key area of study for The Marine. She
sees psychological dominance and the practices of
gratitude and humility as powerful personal growth
tools. Personal excellence is The Marine’s ongoing goal
and her motto is, “Be the best that you can be.”
She can often be found asking one simple yet profound
question "Let me ask you this...".
