With over 20 years of personal involvement in the International fetish community, Robert has immersed himself in a diverse range of entrepreneurial projects including large-scale event production, monthly parties, video, and publishing. 

Robert is the creator/producer of Kink In The Caribbean, the popular “Exit To Eden” fetish vacation held annually on the tropical island of Jamaica. Conceptualized on a cocktail napkin during a vacation, "Kink" has grown to become one of the most highly celebrated "must attend" events on the International party calendar. 

He is also the founder/owner of the legendary SM studio The Nutcracker Suite of New York City, heralded for over 14 years as one of the top ten dungeons in the world and renowned for laying the educational foundation for many of today's most prolific and respected Dominas.

Greatly influenced by his early European travels, in 1990 Robert successfully introduced NYC to "Fetish Factor", undoubtedly one of America's earliest monthly strict fetish dress parties. FF drew sell out crowds for several years, significantly influenced the shape of American fetish, and paved the way for many of today's popular parties and conventions.

An Alumni of NYC's Parson School of Design with vast experience as an ad agency art director, he considers himself  “an artist first, and anything else second”. His publishing credits include:  Co-Founder of the SM News, Founder/Publisher of Domacile Magazine, and freelance Creative Director of SF-based Fetish Magazine.

Strongly driven by his passions and fetish influences, Robert has most recently launched the specialty glove design/manufacturing company “Glove Me or Leave Me”.

Behind the powerhouse of pervery known as Absolute Danny, you'll find the ever present woman, Danny Linden.  In 1995 she started her fetish fashion boutique in the center of the Amsterdam red-light district and immediately became a respected, world renowned paradise for fetish. Eleven years later, she found a new partner in Roberto Schumann, but she is still the creative brain, designer and driving force behind the success of Absolute Danny.

Not one to rest on her laurels, three years ago she began producing her very own Absolute Danny label for worldwide distribution. Today, you will find Absolute Danny latex wear in retail stores throughout Europe and overseas...and still growing.

But it doesn't stop there...four times a year, Absolutely Danny, in cooperation with the producers of Wasteland, also creates the ever popular and infamous Clinic Parties, which have grown to become the largest and most notorious parties in Amsterdam for REAL kinky people,  drawing massive crowds of several thousand attendees every three months dressed in latex, rubber, leather, lycra, uniforms...you name it.

This past year, Absolute Danny introduced her new "Guilty As Sin" parties. Already drawing an international audience, Guilty was specifically designed for smaller, more intimate venues,  drawing several hundred people for an evening of fetish, dance, cocktails, performances, and of course play in the on-site dungeon. Also this year, Absolute Danny introduced Amsterdam's first Fetish Dinner Party. Held in an entrancing  Italian Restaurant, the first party was a huge hit and attended to capacity by International friends and celebrities who enjoyed unlimited wine, champagne, family style dinner, and entertainment.

Last but not least, Absolute Danny is also the owner of the Absolute Suite. Available by advanced reservation to fetish-friend fly travelers, the Suite is a purpose-designed  “hotel” equipped with (what else?) Fetters Bondage Furniture to satisfy all your SM pleasures and fantasies.
