A lot of people ask me why I chose the name media, and basically it goes back to taking photos of the graffiti when I was younger.. I put out small graffiti ezine that I sold to make some extra cash from other graffiti artists, it never really caught on because I did not push it hard, but it was nice.. When I decided I wanted to start painting I thought to myself ?what name would be good?? I was always into taking pictures and that is a form of the news, news is an acronym for North East West South, the media and the news is everywhere, and eventually my graffiti would be too, so it seemed fitting.

Around the time I was 18 the owner of the tattoo shop that I worked at said to me that "I was going to learn to tattoo, weather I liked it or not" The owner saw talent in me and knew I would be a good artist, so he put me on at the shop, I learned everything as fast as I could, And also started to watch another artist by the name of Jon Highland who also taught me so much. By the time I was 20 I was tattooing full time and doing alot of good stuff.. I was finally getting away from the graffiti scene because I had a great vent for my artistic interests that could not be fulfilled otherwise. And I had ALOT more to lose now if I got caught again, I became pretty well know, and had a great clientel base. It was a fun part of my life that I still really miss, and hope to one day go back to.. I still have all of my equipment and plan to eventually do something again with it.

As time went on I eventually dropped out of school and was selling more drugs stealing more stuff, and becoming a major pain in my parents asses. It was easy to sell drugs because the demand was there for it, I made easy money and never needed to worry about anything other than getting jacked or arrested. I don?t really think much about others who sell drugs now, its their thing and I try to keep my nose out of other peoples business.. Drugs are bad overall for society in my opinion.. But it takes hitting bottom for most people to realize that..

I knew that I was heading in the wrong direction at this point, I did not want to goto big boy jail because ultimately I knew I would have to do things to people that would end up keeping me in jail longer. So I used my brain and wrote the judge a letter stating all of the things I would do in order to stay out of CYA, She agreed to let me take a crack at working things out. I started working things out and doing what I had to do, I turned 18, and this was around the time that I met my wife Leslie, She was instantly a good reason to do right. She completed me in a way no other girl was able to do. My final court date came and I had to present evidence that I had fulfilled my agreement with the court, I brought a binder with me that stated I had completed everything I was supposed to, which ranged from 75+ hours of community service, paying full restitution for my crimes, maintaining a full time job, doing weekly drug testing, getting my General Education Diploma, All the while staying out of trouble. I did everything, The judge was awestruck because she did not think that I would do it because of the way I was heading before.

I?ve had people look at me and say ?Oh my god look at that skinhead!? or say ?Oh that guy is a total thug? before taking the time to talk to me and know me for who I really am. It makes me feel really good when people tell me that they were wrong about me and that I am a good person. I proved alot of people wrong when I straightened up, and I proved alot of people right that thought that I had good in me to do right and make a real life for myself..

I continued to do some mainstream stuff with the web graphics and other design stuff with photoshop, eventually honing my skills and making the best of my time working for people doing odd jobs. I started doing our tattoo shops website design and upkeep and a client of mine saw the site, he asked me to make him an adult website, and I did.. He liked it and so I figured what the hell maybe I should take another crack at this adult thing on the side while I tattoo.. I started doing freelance for alot of people, Eventually I got so busy that I needed to get a laptop to bring with me to the tattoo shop to keep up. I moved in with my girlfriend where we started getting alot more serious with each other, I had a room mate Clay who I worked with at the tattoo shop, he is to this day a great friend of mine, who I have experienced alot with. I ended up getting married on August 12th 2000 and we decided it was time to get out on our own, so we decided to pack it up and head to Oregon. When I moved here to Oregon I got a pretty hard hit in the face when I found out I could not tattoo because I was not licensed, I had limited options to get licensed and at the time I did not meet criteria.. So I hit the adult industry hard.. And I have not looked back since..

He eventually decided he was going to make his own affiliate program, and I watched as he did some things that I noticed he could improve upon. The 3rd site that Epic Cash ever had was Girl Fucks Guy, which was the first site that I did for Epic Cash, and it snowballed from there more and more happened, I was eventually asked to take a full time exclusive seat at Epic Cash with a good position with room for growth. I accepted and made EC my baby... Its been a great ride so far, I have a great group of co-workers and have made so many friends along the way.

[QUOTE=SleazyDream]
3. Why do you smoke? [QUOTE] Clearly there is no good answer to this question. I suppose I could blame it on the cigarette companies but I won?t. I?m certainly addicted and I?ve tried many times to quit but I keep failing. Usually when I try to quit I ruin a relationship, fire a few employees and basically just go on a rampage until I start smoking again. What?s screwy is that you always here people say, ?oh, you?ll quit when you are truly ready?. Bullshit. I?ve been ready for years. Recently I heard you can get an injection that makes you sick if you smoke. I have my assistant looking into it for me.

I think my past has always affected me in the future, I've learned a lot over the years in my dealings with people on the street, It's given me street smarts that translate into day to day business.. I am able to pick up on certain bad things before most people, and I've been burned alot less than most people because I go into alot of things not trusting anyone until I have valid reasons to trust someone.. I'm really big in the loyalty department, I've had alot of people ask me to come and work for them, there's been some pretty good offers, but if I left Epic Cash, I would be breaking one of my major rules, and that is be loyal until someone gives you reason otherwise not to be... I am a firm believer in being happy with what you do.. and who you work for, sometimes the satisfaction of knowing I do a good job and am greatly appreciated outweighs the offers of cash and positions I've gotten from people. If I was not happy with Epic Cash, I would leave.. No reason to leave because I am very happy. I've worked my ass off for the last few years, It's paid off for me, and I think that my work has payed off greatly for Epic Cash, And I hope it will continue to bare good fruit for us all as time goes on. In addition to my work, I have to give it up to the great staff of people that I work with: Tanguy our programmer, he does great work and is always able to work with the ideas I give him. And is always there when we need him the most. He just had his first child last week, so I'd like to publicly congratulate him on that. VIPCory - Cory does alot of support and backend work with us, We have been around close to the same amout of time with the company and we hit it off right away. We work good together even though we are over 500 miles apart. We always try to brainstorm together with different ways we can make things better And we try to keep everyone happy with support calls.. With the amount of affiliates we have sometimes it does get hard to handle it all. DoctorT - Everyone has their right hand man, and I consider DoctorT my right hand man. He does alot of stuff that I am not willing to do, or would otherwise be put on the backburner because of the time it takes to get it handled, He's eventually going to climb the ranks and be a replacement for me or Cory as we all have our plans and don't plan to be doing the same thing forever. It's hard to find good people to work with.. It is my firm belief that if you treat your employees well they will work hard for you. If you find someone who will work hard then you need to snatch them up. Workers are a dime a dozen and can be replaced very easy. But finding someone who compliments the company and makes things run smooth is like a diamond in the rough. Every once and a while I think we all feel burnout.. It happens to me every few moths. I have to do something to get myself inspired again. It's not like I don't like what I do, but it starts to get repetative and you long for something to do that will make things bigger and better. As for my past, if things were different, I deffinetly think I would be in a different spot, but I am not sure that it would be where I want to be, and I am not sure that I would be as happy as I have been with my success..

Hi Media;
What are you referring to when you say you think the "bottom will fall out of the adult industry"?

When this happens the bottom will fall out, and only a few companies will make it.. I don't know when this will happen, but it's bound to happen, Take for instance all of the 2257 regulations, that drasticly affects many webmasters out there, and if it gets to the point of enforcement, your options will only be comply, or shut down shop.. Also, look at the number of reliable third party billing providers. There are only a few left this year, as compared to years in the past there were a bounty of choices available for people.. The whole Visa And Mastercard Chargeback threshhold thing sent shivers into the spines of many people, and the registration and anual fees that became associated with running a high risk account crippled many smaller webmasters. Its good for the serious people out there as if they are willing and able to run a business they will pay for their fees... Theres a variety of things that could crush this industry, you never know whe it will happen..

Any thoughts of going back to school and picking up a degree? Maybe business. You have street smarts and no one will argue what you've done for EC. Add the sheep skin and the world could be yours.
