Biography:
I grew up in the Midwest, where I graduated from college with a bachelorÒs degree and started graduate school. After getting married, I started stripping at a DejaVu to help pay the bills. I immediately loved the attention, especially since I had been pretty much a nerdy wallflower in high school!
I met a lot of porn stars while at DejaVu, most of whom encouraged me to start doing videos. My husband wasnÒt too thrilled at how much I liked doing videos right from the start, and neither was my graduate school. So I left both of them behind, and moved out to LA.
I was pretty naïve, and looking back I wonder if maybe I didnÒt push hard enough, or market myself enough, but I was having fun at least. I fell in love again, this time to director Rob Black. We almost got married, but he told me IÒd have to quit doing porno. He had already limited me to only making videos with him. So once again, I moved on to new thingsÅ.
I was succeeding in the video business, stripping as dance club feature, and doing magazine layouts in the fall of 1997. I even won Best All-Girl Sex Scene with Jeanna Fine and PJ Sparxx at the AVN Awards in January 1998.
Then, later that week, I found out that I had somehow gotten HIV. I didnÒt know from who or where, but I was of course devastated. (It was later discovered that it was most likely Marc Wallice who had infected at least 4 or more porn girls.) I had a lot of emotional support from friends and fans, but decided to move home to be close to my family. I stayed in touch with a few good friends back in LA. This included a new friend, John Stagliano.
