    Before you were in this business, what was your job?

    I was an electrician for many years until I landed a gig with a touring band (bass) and spent some time traveling all over the USA playing almost every night of the week. That was a great time in my life, lots of incredible memories, but then the adult business fell into my lap and the rest is porno history...

    You?

      I was a teenager. Umm I think I did a gig as a telemarketer, worked at Wards, and thats about it. Even when my BBS was making good money I opened up my first game and hobby shop. Though I was more into the computer side. The hobby shop was just a good way to meet more gamers and let me get my fix at wholesale.

          Full time college student. So i get my degree from a fairly prestigious california university, go out into the workforce and see that nobody will hire me for more than $14hr. They want experience, but how can i get experience if nobody will hire me? Its safe to say the porn business is turning out to be much more profitable. Thanks for nothing college

              Didnt they teach you anything in school. You lie on your resume. People rarely if ever check and the laws are on your side. Soon you have experience.

                  I had so many jobs it would be hard to list them all. Even when I was a full-time college student I still worked full-time. Probably my favorite pre-porn jobs would include movie theater manager, body piercer, and district manager for Hot Topic.

                              I used to be in gamedevelopment, thought it was my thing, but turns out I was into the money. And there is more money in porn.

I worked briefly for some less-than-savory characters in South London and they helped me open my first business. That metamorphosed from a cab/limo business into a well-known delivery/courier service. Next I started a book publishing house (writing for newspapers, magazines and a book of my own along the way) and then went into music & video retailing. Finally I worked for a few years as a consultant IT project manager, including - ironically - Disney among my clients. Then my heart started playing silly buggers so I retired, started climbing the walls soon after and online porn seemed like something stress-free I could do from home...

I would love to run cam and be able to get into shit like storms, wars, crime scenes, disasters. In fact, I always wanted to be a tornado chaser. Maybe someday when I get out of this crazy biz I will chase them.
