Where are you from originally? What did you like or dislike about growing up there?

I'm from Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. I liked growing up in the small town because of the values that I obtained being raised in that type of atmosphere. The only downfall is that the guys are more closeted than in the bigger cities.

Where do you currently live?

Columbus, Ohio. The great thing about living in Columbus is that the gay community is pretty big. The guys are cute, so there's something to be said for that!

When you were a little kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be a stuntman because I'm into action-type movies. It has to be an awesome adrenaline rush when those guys free fall from the top of buildings!

What kind of kid were you?

I was a geek. I spent a lot of time in front of the TV.

Describe when you first realized you were attracted to guys.

I was a sophomore in high school and there was a guy, a senior, on my track team who was, in my eyes, an Adonis. He had dirty-blond hair and blue eyes. Totally "all-American." The first time I saw him naked was when I realized I had an attraction to guys.

What attracts you to a guy?

I love guys with big pecks and washboard abs.

What attribute of yours is most frequently commented upon?

My arms. People are always coming up and squeezing them and asking me how much I lift.

How much do you lift?

If I'm benching I've done a max at 355. My squat max is 435.

Do you currently work an-other job?

Yes, I'm a certified personal trainer.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

I love to work-out, rollerblade, and hang out with friends.

What are your memories of your first video?

My first movie was Bounce. It was a three-way scene with Hans Ebson and Hans Hintern. I was so scared because it was my first three-way ever. But it was fun, and I really enjoyed myself.

What was the funniest moment for you while shooting a video?

The funniest thing that has ever happened to me is that I was rimming a guy in a scene and he passed gas. I tried to ignore it but I started laughing too hard.

If you could write, direct, produce and star in your own video, describe your ultimate "fantasy scene." Who would you choose as a co-star?

My scene would be shot on an island. I guess it would be the whole shipwrecked survivor thing. I guess a gay Blue Lagoon. I would pick Caesar to co-star with me.

Have you had a particularly exciting "sexcapade" in real life that would make a good scene in a video?

No, my sex life is very vanilla. I'm trying to change that, though!

What's a little-known fact about you that would surprise your fans?

I'm a big kid. I love cartoons and I actually have crayons and coloring books. Coloring is a great stress-reliever for me.

In what way are you different from most porn stars you've met?

Honestly, I don't know if I am that much different. Everybody that I met thus far in the porn industry has been great. They are very nice and a lot of fun to hang around. Nothing like what I expected when I first started making movies.

What are your plans after porno?

I just might pursue my childhood fantasy to become a stuntman.
