I have been in the industry since 2000. To be exact, March 5th. I was living in Goshen, Indiana. I was a Senior in High School. A friend was an office manager for a very small studio. The owner needed some evening help. Shortly after I graduated High School, that summer I ended up taking over my friends position and became the office manager.

I left the industry in 2001 until very early 2003 and came back to work in marketing for a online cam house. I was with them until they went out of business in 2005.
I moved to California in 2005. I worked for SX Video doing different various positions with them. Basically a little of everything from shooting to marketing, to wholesale, to advertising for Flesh 4 Men.
I left them in 2006. I went to a community college for business for a brief period. And now, here I am.

My family, friends, everyone does know what I do. They don't care. It wasn't a shock. They're happy as long as I am happy. Hell this is the 2000 era, nobody really cares unless your hurting someone.
