And what did you do before you came to adult? I used to work for Sprint's Datacenter in Sacramento as a computer operator, and then I worked for Oracle Corporation as an analyst.

I was pretty good friends with a guy I used to work with, who was friends with Slavik. At the time, I was a little leery about this whole 'online adult' industry, I thought it was all some crazy shit at first. But Slav gave me some pretty interesting pointers which I follow to this day. So I guess you could say I had a few friends that showed me the ropes more or less.

When I was working at Oracle, one of the sites I started out with in adult was Orgypost.com. I confided in one of my coworkers that I ran a site after one of them mentioned being curious about them. Well, I never really heard the end of it. From then on, one of them was calling me 'Larry' at company meetings that included my boss who always asked for an explanation. He'd respond with 'oh, ask Larry about his website' and I'd turn purple when all 35 of my coworkers would all turn and stare with amusment. After a while, people would start coming by my cubicle asking about the site, etc... eventually I started being a little more open about it.

So when I left the company, it was a gradual transition to shooting content for my clients.

What got you started in this biz?
