“Why does a Shiba Inu run in circles? Because it’s hard to run in squares!” – Raidho (probably)

 Raidho (sounds like Fido, but starts with an R) is a chaotic, quixotic, puppy who has been involved in the leather and kink community for over a decade. While he’s never held a title, he’s passionate about showing the different ways pups and humans can find their voice and create change in our community. As a switch, Raidho is also passionate about breaking down false expectations that people need to live in one role or box. Sirs can be pups, subs can be tops, and every other wonderfully delicious combination that life can create!

 When he's not busy hosting an event, telling dad jokes, chewing shoes during a meeting, or sniffing out new ways to help, you can find Raidho indulging in his other passions, like archery, belly rubs, traveling, belly rubs, building Legos, belly rubs, games, and belly rubs. Raidho is the co-founder of the Windy City Pups and Handlers, a board member of IPTC, the former beta of MAKK, the former North Regional Director for The Titans of the Midwest and had the privilege of judging IPC in 2018. Raidho has an amazing chosen family. He is Dad to his son, Teo; puppy to the best Alpha ever; Daddy to his puppy (the bestest border collie); and, most importantly, is married to the love of his life, Figaro.
