Swift Fox is a furry who lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Swift, as his friends call him, is an avid fursuiter, performing as "Ashes" not only at conventions, but also in a public relations role with the Aspinwall Volunteer Fire Department, of which he also fills the role of firefighter, secretary and training officer.

Since October of 2001, Swift has been the host and now director of the growing Western Pennsylvania Furry Weekend which is held annually over Columbus Day Weekend. This event brought ninety-six registered furs in for a weekend of fun and fellowship in 2007 and raised $700 in donations for their charity Animal Friends.

He is known through the fandom as a high profile member of the babyfur community who, with the help of others, has worked tirelessly over the years to better integrate the babyfur community into the furry fandom. This they have done by developing a set of Public Behavior Guidelines which have worked to improve its public image.

Since 1997, he has been co-ordinating babyfur and ageplay parties in the Pittsburgh area.

He co-moderates the Babyfur LiveJournal Community with TF Baxxter.

Swift Fox's species is the Cross Fox, a color variant of the Red Fox. He has held his furry name consistantly since 1992, pre-dating his involvement in the fandom by five years.
