If you're here, you probably already know what I do—but let me tell you a bit more.
I was born in Orchard Park, New York, and moved to Florida when I was just a kid. I grew up as a bit of a beach bum, spending most of my free time outdoors. In 2012, I decided to try something completely different and stepped in front of the camera for the first time. I had no idea that one decision would turn into a career that’s taken me all over the world.
Over the years, I’ve worked with some of the biggest studios in the business—Brazzers, Evil Angel, Jules Jordan, Digital Playground, you name it. I’ve won trophies that I never could have imagined, including the AVN Award for Best Anal Sex Scene. But after a while, I wanted more control. That’s when I started directing. There’s nothing like building a scene from the ground up and bringing a vision to life.
Today, I split my time between performing and running my own production projects. Outside of work, you’ll find me at the gym, playing with my dogs, or planning my next tattoo. I’m far from done, and I hope you’ll stick around for what comes next.
Orchard Park, New York. I spent my early years there before my family relocated to Florida, which is where I really grew up.
I shot my first scenes in 2012. I was 22 years old, a little nervous, but mostly excited to try something new.
I'm proud to have won the AVN Award for Best Anal Sex Scene and been nominated for several others, including All-Girl Performer of the Year. My directing work has also picked up XBIZ nods.
Yes, I launched my own production company to direct and produce scenes. It gives me total creative freedom and a chance to showcase performers the way I see them.
