[edit] Pornographic Film Career
Tyler’s first venture into adult entertainment occurred when a modeling agency booked him for a magazine layout in the Australian woman’s magazine, Woman’s Forum. A few years later, he entered the adult film industry with a focus on women and couples friendly content, winning him the 2009 Good For Her Feminist Porn Award, Heartthrob of the Year. He has worked as a spokes-model for Playgirl, appearing on 20/20, appearing at conventions and has been featured in the magazine twice. He has a signature sex-toy line with California Exotic Novelties.
[edit] Non-Pornographic Appearances
In addition to his pornographic film appearances, Tyler appeared in season one and two of the Showtime series, Zane's Sex Chronicles.
[edit] Writing career
Tyler's foray into writing began when he fielded questions on a mixed martial arts forum about his life as an adult film star. This caught the attention of Tucker Max who created a writing critique thread for Tyler on the now-defunct Rudius Media forum. Tyler's writing style has been described as dirty realism. The stories are told in first-person present tense and usually start in medias res. The backdrop for most of the stories is Los Angeles' Porn Valley and the characters that operate within and on the fringes of the porn industry.
Tyler’s work has been published in several print and online literary magazines including Thieves Jargon, Ignavia Press, Thirst for Fire, Sex and Murder, and Ronin Press. He also writes a monthly column for a woman’s magazine, For The Girls. In November 2009, he joined the SubtleDig network of bloggers. He recently completed his first novel.
