Bernie
Bernie was introduced to the lifestyle in 1996. What began at that time as inclinations towards various kinks would continually develop into a full and healthy part of his life.
Professionally, Bernie is a former high school science teacher and has cultivated an exciting career in the green industry throughout the past two decades. He is passionate about cooking, gardening, and landscaping, as well as enjoying classic and modern science fiction and fantasy.
As a Dominant, Bernie has developed what can best be described as a practical approach to power exchange with a focus on leading the dynamic for a balanced and fulfilling life, providing a focus on merging the fantastical parts of D/s lifestyle with the reality of everyday.

Marisa
Marisa has an education in animal science as well as previous careers working in the veterinary field and later on administration and medical records field. Her greatest fulfillment has come in her life of service, becoming a homemaker, supporting Bernie and caring for their family.
When allotted free time, Marisa enjoys some traditional pampering herself. Going for massages, manicures and pedicures as well as sitting in the sun or with a glass of wine while reading a steamy novel, are all popular relaxations. She is also an avid fan of fantasy and modern science fiction as well as working with Bernie on gardening or other home improvement projects.
As the submissive partner in the dynamic, Marisa has found a personal awakening in relinquishing control and through her service. Her submission has led to confidence allowing her to become a presenter, a mentor and to see herself as an Alpha Submissive in other dynamics.

A SHARED LIFE
Bernie and Marisa have been in a relationship since 2000 and married since 2004. They found their way into power exchange slowly as a natural inclination towards Dominant and submissive roles and a love of spanking developed into a full robust dynamic.
Today they live not only as husband and wife but also as Master and slave. They have full lives with a career, home, children, friends and family and utilize their dynamic as a means of structuring and staying connected in their shared love Their decision to share their dynamic on a personal level began with their involvement in the Northeast Power Exchange and based in a desire to help promote healthy power exchange relationships, educate others about what 24/7 dynamics can truly look like and to create positive dialogue about the lifestyle. |
Bernie and Marisa believe in a presentation style that is based on sharing their own experiences as an example of, rather than blueprint for successful total power exchange relationships. By opening their own lives and engaging others they focus on creating ideas and thoughts that others can use in their own personal experiences.
