About the Author
Dr. Robert J. Rubel is an educational sociologist and researcher by training. Immediately after college he taught high school English in South-Central Los Angeles for three years. Returning to graduate school, he earned an EdM in urban education and a PhD in the area of crime prevention in public schools. After some years working on staff and also serving as a Visiting Fellow for the U.S. Department of Justice, he formed a 501(c)(3) that specialized in research and training in the area of crime prevention in public schools. He ran that firm for 17 years. In 1985, Dr. Rubel formed the American Association of Wood Turners and built its membership from zero to about two thousand in two years. At that point the organization was turned over to people who had more time to devote to it. The organization is alive and well to this day. In his mid-40s, Robert decided to change careers and joined a boutique stock brokerage and future brokerage firm in the Georgetown area of Washington, D.C. Within six months, he was made a Principal of the futures brokerage side of the firm and within another six months, named CEO. He ran the company for an additional four years. In the late 1990s, upon the request of a close friend, Dr. Rubel returned to Austin to help this person start a new company. He worked there as vice president for operations for five years, then retired to pursue he passion as an erotic and fetish art photographer. Robert Rubel has been involved in the BDSM scene for a number of years, throwing himself into the literature of the field as though it was an academic study. He attends BDSM weekend conferences many times a year.
