Who is this Jeff guy, anyway?

"Who is Jeff Mach? I'm a writer, and am in the process of publishing my first book, "GIVE: Some Explorations of Submission". I'm also a dreamer, a creator, an entrepreneur, and a collector of awful jokes. I can make balloon animals, and I have a habit of putting my groceries anywhere but the fridge. I'm a polyamorous dominant sadomasochist. I'm brilliant, I'm handsome, I'm charismatic, I'm modest. You know. I'm me.

The "It's My Website And I Can Tell My Whole Damn Life Story" Version

Once upon a time, I was a child prodigy. Specifically, in first grade, I could read at about a high school level. The educational system simply had no clue how to deal with me, so I was marked off as strange from age six onwards.

It was great! I could read all I wanted and nobody bothered me. Well, some people picked on me, but I had read more than enough to realize it was normal social behavior, so I didn't take it personally. By 13, I was a hardcore computer geek, playing on local bulletin board systems and picking up cool information on bondage, Discordianism, and other neat stuff, not to mention hanging out at Rocky Horror with other pasty-faced, destined-not-to-get-laid-for-a-decade computer geeks. By 17, I was studying Talmud and Taoism and writing plays, and nobody picked on me anymore (mostly because I almost never got angry, partially because I had a black belt in Tae Kwon Do by then). I won some awards for playwriting, graduated with mediocrity, and headed on to Rutgers University.

In college, I encountered the serious BDSM scene, the SCA, Pagans, punks, Goths, and other various oddballs. After college, I tried to open a cafe, then took a job as a Director of Marketing, then quit that job to start my own company, Widdershins LLC. It didn't exactly take off, and I currently have an oddly-definied entrepreneurial position as a consultant and enforcer for an unorthodox media company. I still hang out with groups of weirdos around New Jersey, including the Rutgers Pagan Student Association, Omnimancers, and the Home of Happiness (Montclair's Rocky Horror cast). As of late, I've written a few musicals, a handful of songs, and a truckload of poetry. When I'm not running away from groupies or bill collectors, I like to create vast and insanely ambitious plans involving my birthday

About Jeff's Book

Six years ago, I wrote a brilliant book on submission, called "Give". Now, I'm finally offering it for sale.

(Hey, I said I was brilliant, not organized.)

You can buy it from this website by going here.

Like many others, I believe that submission is far too individual to nail down with anything resembling universal rules. With that in mind, I won't even attempt to provide a "path" of submission. My intent is rather to provide a few stones; you can pave your own path, or throw them at me, as you so desire.
