I starred in an NS Novelties’ commercial for The Muse, where I got down and dirty with myself.

In September I directed another feature with Eddie Powell (The Submission of Emma Marx) where I fell in love with Penny Pax. (Photo by: Eddie Powell)

I also met Bonnie Rotten on a go-see earlier in 2012 and instantly forged a special bond with this extraordinary young woman. She went on to shoot Meet Bonnie for New Sensations and we all watched her career blow up. She is hands down, one of the stand-out people I’ve met this year. (Photo by: Eddie Powell)

But none of this could have been possible without Eddie Powell – the person who has believed in me since the very first day we spoke and who has been by my side for every new adventure in my adult career. I couldn’t ask for a better partner in crime.

To everyone who touched my life this year – thank you. I am beyond lucky to have such a wonderful group of people in my life and I look forward to many new adventures in 2013.
