About Me

OK this is it! I now have a place on the Internet to sound off my UNSCENSORED opinion on various porn stars and Adult Industry topics. Every day I will keep you abreast of my fun filled life out here in porn valley.
I have always loved attention and being the life of the party. In high school my nickname was Dan Keg. In college I was Interfraternity Council President and my Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity brothers gave me the appropriate nickname of Danimal.
I have been producing amateur porn since 1999 and have a unique perspective of what it is like to be a “porn star”. I grew up in the Nation’s Capitol and will always consider it my home. Prior to getting in this industry I was a top salesperson and sales manager in Washington DC and Las Vegas for IKON and Danka. I started in this industry by a quirk of fate when an ex girlfriend and I met the owner and crew of GM Video at Fantasy Fest in Key West in 1999. At that time GM Video was reselling their footage to an entrepreneur named Joe Francis, who was just starting Girls Gone Wild. You can see where this is going. Over the next year and half I would travel with the crew from GM on their excursions every other month, as I will still working in corporate America. In February of 2001 I asked George, the owner of GM Video, if I shot my own movie would he release it for me on VHS and DVD; yes VHS was still doing big numbers only seven years ago. My buddies and I went to Budapest, Hungry and made three movies called Budapest Booty 1 -3. Well people found our very raw, uncut amateur style entertaining and they reached number 3 on the AVN pro-am charts.
I continued to shoot amateur movies for GM Video for the next year and half, and put out many titles with them that did very well. Then in late 2002 I decided to leave corporate America and try and do porn full time. I developed my pornodan.com as a pay site and soon had another pay site called Fuck Trip, which chronicled my journeys all over the globe. I was able to shoot and travel to many exotic locations like Tallin, Estonia; London, England; Prague, Czech Republic; Rome, Italy; San Jose, Costa Rica and Budapest, Hungry just to name a few. In early 2004 I switched DVD distributors to Old Pueblo Distribution. Hindsight is 20/20, but I wish I had concentrated more on the Internet side of the business as opposed to worrying about releasing movies. In any event I truly had a great time doing this and loved every second of it. In June of 2004 The Washington Post, wrote a story about me that talked about my life and my transition from corporate sales to porn producer.
I was having the time of my life, yet I felt I was missing something. I feel in love with a girl who went to law school in Baltimore so we moved there in the summer of 2005. Moving to Baltimore turned out to be a disaster. I stopped doing porn and my then girlfriend and I fought all the time. After we broke up I partnered with a friend in the bar business. While I was very successful throwing and promoting parties, running a restaurant and bar being there every night is hell. I hated it and couldn’t wait to leave. Late in 2006 I reconnected with a girl I had a met on set in Canada. She soon moved in with me and we started shooting porn again. I was so happy to do what I truly loved and we got married to her in January 2007 in Las Vegas. My partner sold the bar and two days later my wife and I moved to Los Angeles in the fall of 2007.
Moving to Los Angeles has been a great move for me, even thought my wife and I soon split up after we moved here. I am the CEO of Immoral Productions. which is quickly becoming one of the top up-and-coming studios. We recently launched www.fuckafan.com , this is the first of what is to be several sites from our company. We just signed a large deal with Pure Play to distribute all of our movies. They will be releasing one DVD a week for us in the third quarter of 2009. We broadcast our Hand Job Winner, Blow Job Winner and Fuck A Fan shoots every Tuesday at 6 pm PST.
I also host and throw adult industry parties for the Adult Entertainments Broadcast Network’s (AEBN) social networking site xPeeps. We have been having these parties for over a year; they are by far and away the most talked about and best attended parties in the entire industry. Having the ability to host and throw these parties fullfills my need to be a social butterfly.
I am happy doing what I do best being creative and running a company that I truly believe in. I hope you will read my blog to stay abreast of what I have going on in my life. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
All the best
Dan
