[edit] Life and career

After high school, he joined the United States Marine Corps, but was discharged due to a car accident.[1] At this point, in his early 20s, he moved to the San Fernando Valley with his then girlfriend.[1] He got an agent and began to model for porn magazines and perform at strip clubs.[1]

In 1995, Ryker won "Best Newcomer" at the Adult Video News Awards, and his 1996 film, The Other Side Of Aspen IV, is one of the most rented gay videos of all time[citation needed]. Ryker has also been very successful with bisexual movies. Three years later, in 1998, he won the award for "Best Duo Sex Scene" at the Adult Erotic Gay Video Awards, with Steve Harper, for his performance in Ryker's Revenge (Men of Odyssey).

Ryker has admitted that he was called "The Firehose" in the boy’s locker room throughout high school, due to the size of his penis[1]. A dildo, measuring 11.5 inches (29 cm) in length and a 2.5 inches (7.5 cm) in diameter, was modelled on his penis in the mid-1990s, and is widely available for sale on the internet.[2] According to his publicists, his real penis measures 11 inches long[1], making Ryker one of the largest-endowed stars in the business[citation needed].

In 2000, he settled in Los Angeles, California and began working for Frixion Lube, a sexual products company, distributing its products. He has not made a pornographic film for some years.[3]
