Presenter & Host
Scott Smith began exploring the facets of S&M at an early age. With his creative and rather deviant mind, he enthusiastically developed his techniques of bondage and suspension from his experience with nautical and high angle rope work. His powerful physical interactions of his S&M activities were initially necessities for various activities including white water rafting, scuba, climbing, and paramedical rescue.
Scott brings a distinct intensity and passion to the ebb and flow of learning, teaching and actualizing S&M. A believer that the magic of BDSM comes through the connection of the participants, his workshops develop and nurture that connection; while maintaining a decidedly sadistic edginess. Scott has presented countless workshops and seminars throughout North America and abroad for organizations large and small. Scott is internationally known for his rope work, connection, and edge play workshops. Feel free to contact Scott through FetLife at Scott_Smith, or his email Scott@OneWithKnots.com.

As a practitioner of bondage-focused BDSM for nearly 20 years, Elise has intimate experience with the powerful, yet subtle, transformational power of bondage. She credits her own bondage experience for serious advancements in her own personal journey of self discovery and evolution. In 2006, Elise dove head-first into the world of bondage play. After working for years as a model for various bondage sites such as Into the Attic, House of Gord, Kink.com, and the Insex sites, in 2011 Elise moved to Oakland, CA to work for and mentor under PD of Insex. It is here that she learned that she can be any kind of top that she wants - she doesn’t have to fit any particular style.
In 2016, Elise embarked out on her own, creating her own bondage-focused website, BondageLiberation.com. It is here that Elise showcases her many interests in bondage play alongside her deeply-kinky friends. Though these scenes are filmed, they are nonetheless real and powerful to the participants. It was also around this time that Elise began offering private bondage-focused sessions via BondageTherapy.com. Though not the same or in any way a replacement for actual talk therapy, Elise wanted the name of her practice to reflect her intention behind creating a safe, grounding, explorative container in which her bondage play takes place.
Both of these projects have brought so much joy to Elise, and she is grateful every day to be doing this work.

With three decades of commitment to non-monogamy, pragma has woven a tapestry of diverse experiences and relationships throughout his adult life. In his youth, he grappled with cheating, his own and that of his partners, an experience that ultimately shaped his commitment to more honest, open relationships. His longest-standing relationship, a testament to mutual dedication and understanding, celebrates its 30th anniversary this year.

As a kinkster and lifelong learner, @pragma has read intensively on the history and artistry of D/s and leather culture and personally feels everything important in kink happens in the mind.
Aside from his personal journeys, @pragma is also a seasoned presenter in his professional life, leveraging his rich experiences to share insights to groups numbering in the hundreds across various platforms. In these sessions at Kinky Caribbean, @pragma plans to offer a wealth of knowledge, drawn from decades navigating the intricacies of relationship and jealousy management, as well as the exploration of kink and especially 24/7 M/s relationships.

While British-trained professional actor, voiceover artist and swordfight choreographer Jonathan was engaged in the years of study, trial, error, and multinational visits to fetish clubs in North America, the United Kingdom and Europe necessary to become adept with various implements during the search to find someone to do things with on a more permanent basis, the equally professional Californian ballet dancer and fetish model Giovanna cleverly avoided the boring wait by not being born until he’d turned 27.
Eventually, after much separate sturm und drang, they met in London when he was appearing in a West End theatre and she was dancing with the English National Ballet. Married in 2006 by the Reverend Frank Lawrence in Jamaica during Kink in the Caribbean Week at the sadly defunct Hedonism III, they are delighted to report that engaging in perverse escapades with one another is far more satisfying than too many past attempts with too many of the wrong people.
