How did you get started in the biz?
I started in this industry by a quirk of fate, when an ex girlfriend and I, happened to meet the owner and crew of GM Video, during "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". Over the next year and half, I would travel with the crew from GM on their excursions every other month, as I was still working in corporate America. In February of 2001, I asked George, the owner of GM Video, that if I shot my own movie, would he release it for me on VHS and DVD? Yes, VHS was still doing big numbers back then. 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 site 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: Tallinn, 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.
2. Tell me about your company and the movies/scenes you do. What is Fuck-a-fan?
I am the CEO of Immoral Productions, which has quickly become one of the top up-and-coming studios. Pure Play Media distributes all of our movies. Since we release 20 titles a quarter, that makes us one of their larger studios. We were nominated as Best New Studio of 2010 by both AVN and XBIZ. In addition we received the following nominations at the 2010 AVN Awards: "Don’t Cum Inside Me" Best Internal Release, "Fuck A Fan" Best Pro-Am Series, "Fuck A Fan" Best Pro-Am Release, "Green Card Cuties" Best Foreign All Sex Series, "Cum Hunters" Best Gonzo Series.
We recently launched www.straightdownthetubes.com . This is the first advertising supported exclusive content site on the net. We shoot live at least three times a week. Our 2010 schedule of shows include “Squirtamania”, “Titterific”, “Assmazons” , “Hand Job Winner”, “Blow Job Winner”, “Freaky Footjobs”, “Cock Sucking Challenge”, and “Fuck A Fan”. All these shows are broadcast at 9:00 p.m., EDT. We add in and rotate shows to see how they do. We also currently shoot ‘non-live’ recorded content for our “Snort That Cum”, “Sexxx in Public”, “Cum Hunters”, “Don’t Cum Inside Me”, and “Green Card Cuties”, series.
I took over Fuck A Fan in January 2009, when I formed Immoral Productions with my director Jim Powers. Since that time we have shot 55 fun-filled shows. Every week, three fans compete for the chance to fuck their favorite porn star. The third place guy gets a handjob, the second place guy gets a blowjob, and the first place guy gets to have sex.
3. The Tanner Mayes "meltdown" was on a set you were working on. What is your opinion of that whole thing?
I think Tanner has unlimited potential, and wish nothing but the best for her. She won the AEBN & XBIZ “Best New Starlet” from her fans for a reason. I truly want her to succeed and become the superstar that I feel she will become.
In a way, I wish the "meltdown" footage was never released. But, in the long term it will be good for Tanner because it gave her massive notoriety and she no longer acts or behaves like that on set.
4. Is Rev Sandy as big an asshole as he seems to be?
No, not all, he is a very good guy. He just distances himself from most everyone.
5. You are a guy that gets along pretty well with everyone. Is there anyone in the biz that you really can’t stand?
I try and get along with everyone. I takes too much time and effort to hate someone.
6. How many movies have you made? As an actor? As a director? As a producer?
I have produced and directed around 100 movies. I am in most of my our productions as a performer.
7. Are you dating anyone right now?
I am currently single. I work 80+ hours a week and it would be unrealistic and selfish if I tried to date anyone steady right now.
8. How many porn girls have you dated? Name some names…
I have been with quite a few. I am not sure “dated” is the right word for most of them, but the most recent one I was in a relationship with was Mallory Rae Murphy.
9. How many porn girls have you had sex with? How many girls in total have you had sex with?
On or off camera, because to me on camera doesn’t really count. If I was to guess it would be pretty high because of what I do and the fact that I’m a pretty outgoing and fun loving guy.
10. Who are your favorite people to work with?
I have quite a few. Our Immoral Productions contract stars, Amy Brooke and McKenzee Miles, are two of the best girls I have ever worked with. They both give it their all in each and every scene, and can both squirt like crazy! Which, I love. In addition, they love to have sex with the fans. One of the reasons we picked them to be our contract stars, is that they kept requesting to come back as one of the “fluffers” for our “Fuck A Fan” shows. Every show we have these two fluffers to assist the fans, and to ensure they have a positive experience.
11. So you do scenes?
Yes, I am in all of our “Squirtamania” scenes, because I have long skinny fingers and it’s easy for me to get girls to squirt. I am also involved in most of our “Fuck A Fan” shows in some capacity.
12. I’ve heard many stories about you having sex in public places, tell me a couple…
I am pretty notorious for having sex in public places. In fact, I have a series where we have filmed some of my exploits called: "Sexxx in Public". I have had sex in all sorts of public places… Bars, bathrooms, alleys, on an oil pipeline, in my seat at an NFL game, inside a closet at an MLB game..
13. What do you fans usually ask you?
If they could be in one of my movies, to which I always encourage them to be in a Fuck A Fan.
14. Tell us something quirky about you that most people don’t know
I wake-up before 8 am every Saturday morning to watch English Premiere League. I am a huge Manchester City supporter.
15. Describe yourself in ten words or less
Hyper active, Fun-loving, workaholic, gregarious, loyal…
16. Tell us about how sports fit into your life.
Many years ago I played football and baseball. Though, if you looked at me you might not see that other than the two big scars I have on my shoulders from having had reconstructive surgery on them. I love going to sporting events and am a huge fan of the Washington Redskins, Chicago Cubs, Washington Capitals and Manchester City.
17. What type of sex turns you on the most? Do you have a fetish?
I am pretty vanilla in my personal life sex. The one thing that turns me on more than anything, is when a girl squirts. But now that I shoot squirting scenes every week, that isn’t as a big of fetish for me anymore…
18. What is the hardest thing you have dealt with in your life, and how did you make it through?
I’ve been code-blue, medivaced and been in the intensive care unit. I was given my last rites and wasn’t supposed to live, but I obviously pulled through. I pulled through because of great doctors and the blood donor’s blood that they gave me. It’s has taught me to value every day that I am alive as a blessing and to truly appreciate the little things in life.
19. What is your philosophy in life?
I do things my own way. I live every day to the fullest, and I treat other people like I would like to be treated. I don’t hold grudges and try to have as much fun as I can.
20. You recently said that you were in a great place right now, and the happiest you have ever been with yourself. Tell us why.
I am happy doing what I do best. Being creative and running a company that I truly believe in. On top of that I have been in a 15 month battle with my soon to be ex-wife, and we’ve ‘just worked everything out’…
