Mainstream marketing consultation.

I always "dabbled" in this biz in my spare time with random make money fast schemes.

I am from the Bible Belt.. I got tired of consulting churches and other related businesses..

I worked for a judge plowing through tons of bullshit motions padded by defense attorneys to justify ridiculous fees to their oblivious corporate clients. I quit after a few months.

I worked for a venture capital firm in charge of studying and handling incubated companies. Plowing millions into vapor companies based on a vague idea. That gig imploded with the Dot Com bust (the first one, not the one currently happening).

After that gig I became a webmaster and never looked back.

I've only ever had two jobs before this industry.. I spent 2 years as a Nurse's Aide in a Nursing Home, thought I was going to become a nurse and got that going, but then people started dying, obviously, they were old... and I couldn't take it.

So I went into working in a Factory, Briggs and Stratton, for almost 9 years and had to leave there due to a serious back injury in 93 and was a housewife until 99 when I started in the Adult Industry.

While I was doing those two things, I managed my husband's band for 15 years. lol

I did a little bit of everything, but the most important experience was 6 years in banking, and then 2 years in media companies (cinema and magazine editorial). Been in adult for almost 12 years and never look back since then
