Mark is our first male talent to win Amateur of the Month ! This being said, we wanted to ask him some questions!
How did you get into the industry?
Well, I first started filming around mid to late 2011. I was in the military at the time and had just gotten back from a deployment overseas. I was within 4 years of retiring from the military so I remember thinking a lot about what I was going to do once I got out. I’ve been a porn addict since I found my grandparents XXX collection in the mid 1980’s :) Soooo, I slowly started to research what it would take to just shoot my own porn. Surprisingly, it doesn’t take much! After I had a good idea of what I would need, I went online and bought most of it. I couldn't believe it as I hit the “purchase” button for my first camera, I was actually doing it! Never mind the fact that I had no idea how to use a camera or lighting (not much has changed, lol). I maxed out a credit card in order to get everything I wanted and I really didn’t have squat in savings either…I was risking everything! Next, I reached out to models on amateur model websites and twitter. It was pretty slow going at first, not many models would work with me and I couldn’t even get a porn agency to respond to me. I applied for another credit card and took out advances just to have money to travel and pay models with (that really could have blown up in my face, I definitely don’t recommend doing that, lol). Slowly, I started to get more and more shoots and things picked up. I was selling my content on clips4sale but was still spending way more than I was earning. Jada Stevens was the first popular pornstar that would work with me. She really helped me out! She introduced me to some of her friends and always recommended me to other girls, that was huge! Sasha Foxxx was also a huge help. The scenes she and I shot put me on the map and I really developed and fine-tuned the kind of POV scenes I wanted to make while shooting with her. All I remember doing back then was traveling all over the country with my camera and a few lights…I put so many fucking miles on my car! Since I was active duty military I worked Monday thru Friday and had my weekends off, so that’s when I would travel and shoot. Most of the time, I would drive six hours to Tampa as soon as I got off work on Friday evenings, shoot as much porn as I could while I was there, and then drive back so that I could make Monday morning formations. I was exhausted!!! But, I just kept at it. In December of 2014 my business really took off and it’s been doing great since. I am retired from the military now and film pretty girls sucking my cock full time :)
What advice would you give to someone looking to join the industry?
It may be an extremely slow process, so save up some cash and do your research.
Do you have a pornstar crush?
Not sure it’s a crush but I love having Riley Reid suck on my cock, she’s out of this world! Also, fucking Brandi Love doggy style had me on cloud 9 for quite some time! She’s amazing and her body is aces!
Who would you say is your male pornstar idol?
Peter North and Tom Byron for sure. I loved all of Pete’s scenes back in the day, his facials were crazy! Tom had a killer POV BJ series that I was addicted to!
How does it feel being the first Male to win Amateur of the Month?
It feels amazing, especially when there’s so many talented people in the Pornhub Amateur Program, I was shocked that I won.
What's the most embarrassing/funny moment that has happened to you during a porn shoot?
In one of my very first scenes I shot my wad way too early. I barely had any footage, most of it was the intro with dialogue, lol. I tried to hold out for as long as I could but the excitement of filming was too much and I BLASTED a massive load of jizz onto the models face and up her nose, haha.
If you could fuck any celebrity, who would it be?
I would smash Jennifer Connelly’s vagina into oblivion before blowing a massive load of jizz down her throat :)
How did you hear about Pornhub’s Amateur Payment Program?
I heard about it from another amateur producer, Lady Fyre. Be sure to check out her verified Pornhub account!
What is your favorite… Blondes or Brunettes? Brunettes, but blondes can get it too :) Boobs or Butt? I’m an ass guy I suppose. Category on Pornhub? Blowjobs of course! Sex position? Doggy! There’s nothing better than hitting it from behind :) I really feel like I own that ass from that position, lol. Type of video to film? POV Blowjob Thing about Pornhub? Interacting with fans and other amateurs. Video on your account? Probably “MHBHJ - Aria” Aria was amazing and I just thought it turned out beautifully.
Thank you so much Mark! xo
