1.) What exactly is it that you do in the Adult Industry? What company do you currently work for? What's your job title or duties?

I own 57 domains: 23 Thumbnail/Movie Gallery Posts, free adult sites, a couple of blogs, computer hardware sites and a bunch gaming pages, there's a few domains that I havn't done anything with and will probably end up being tgps. At my day job I work in a retail gaming, cd/dvd, novelty, computer store called Area 51. I am the lackey, computer support and web guy.

2.) When did you actually get started in the industry?

In '98, I was in college looking for some extra money for pizza and my other hobbies, I didn't want a "real" job. At the time I ran a gaming emulation website and a Bulletin Board System (WWIV 4.x on OS/2 for ya foggies who remember BBS's) Running the emulation site taught me how to use *nix, top scripts, circle jerks and really manipulate traffic. The problem with a high trafficed emulation site was there was no way to really generate any cash! Most main stream sponsors wouldn't accept emulation sites, eventually I found a couple of adult sponsors who did, after making my first $100 in a week, I decided to drop the emulation site, I sold it to a friend went full adult.

3.) If you could change one thing about the Adult Industry what would it be and why?

Only one? Damn... There is alot. I guess the one I would like to rid the cheaters from the industry, especially the knuckleheads that cheat TGPs! They ruin it for everyone and it will eventually cause the cave-in of the whole industry!

4.) What advice would you offer to anyone that's just starting out in the industry?

Be ready to work hard, set some goals, find your niche, read boards, network with other webmasters and building lots of sites.

5.) Tell us about any sites you might operate or that you're most proud of.

I am proud of all my sites! My first adult domain was http://www.filthypost.com

6.) What are your hobbies?

Computers, Comic Books, Magic: The Gathering, Drinking, Video Games, Music.

7.) Are you married? Have a girlfriend or boyfriend? Or both? *giggle*

Nope... I havn't found that special girl, yet.

8.) How much time would you say you spend working in a day and do you take regular vacations?

16 Hours a day, six days a week except on Sunday. In 2002 I took 2, one week vacations, and it felt so bizzare. My best friend who went with me, said I was going through computer addiction withdraw, and saw me "sleep typing" one night.

9.) Is there anything personal or professional that you would like to add or that you would like others to know about you?

I am a very shy, quiet and generally easy going person. I have very few irl friends and they mean the world to me.

10.) What's the one thing you like best about Rated Hot?

Only one? Damn... Hehe.. Well I would have to say that I have met the greatest webmasters ever on RatedHot, it isn't an elitist jerk-ass board!
