Part of my job was to ensure that any given shoot went as smoothly as possible. While there were things out of my control–talent flaking, talent unable to ‘arise’ to the occasion, location being an issue–I felt a sense of great pride in capturing content that stood out from other places. Most studios record the…
I got into this industry back in late 2003. I knew there would be odd days and times when I’d question whether or not I should return to school. And there were days I’d learn a new vernacular. Enter the “mope.” What is a mope? Well, as director Sal Genoa once said, Ä mope is…
Vixen was the final scene in a day where I performed five times. No, that’s not a typo. Chico Wang got it in his crazy mind to book five scenes for me on a hot summer day. Oh, and did I fail to mention I was sick and on antibiotics? I remember telling Chico,” Dude,…
It’s late 2003, and I’m interviewing to become Chico Wang’s “minion.” Essentially, it was someone who would learn the business and assist on set.

I’ve been on thousands of sets and cut almost as many scenes. There have been times, as an editor, when I’ve scratched my head and wondered how some lack common sense. Or a basic understanding of civil and criminal laws. Here’s a list of things I wish pornographers would stop doing: I’m sure there’s more,…
I vaguely recall October 10, 2007. I was helping Billy Watson with a Manojob shoot while occasionally checking the adult news/gossip sites. At that point, my former mentor, Chico “Wanker ” Wang, was avoiding Porn Valley the way I avoid vegetables at a buffet. You see, Chico was accused of domestic violence, and I was…
Everyone in the adult industry has a story about how they got in. Mine’s a little different. I’ve been a fan of adult films since at least middle school. While other kids were talking about sports stats or what was going on in the world, I was more focused on what was happening in adult…
