I have toured with different bands, all over. I was a drummer. In 2000 I started dancing in Myrtle Beach, SC.

In 2012 I met my fiancé who played a major role in opening up our own entertainment business. We have been mostly touring the east coast, but we will be branching out all over. We plan to grow and become one of the best exotic male entertainment group’s worldwide. My fiancé and I also had our first child in June of 2015. We have come a long way, but have a long way to go!

Kenneth Clark SFC, USA Retired My name is Kenneth Clark and I grew up in South Florida in a city called Coconut Grove with my family of six. Life was difficult. The vast streets bore challenges to our curiosity, and as kids we took to the opportunity to the local parks for our adventures. As we got older we had to experience the life without a farther. This situation put us in a fast track life where we had to mature immediately. I quckly understood the importance of preparation, hard work, and respect. I applied these values to my endevours by making an inventory of resources, planning my activities for efficiency, working on my goals every single day, and giving my body the necessary rest, it needed to operate. My upbringing has completely supported my development and I am thankful for it. In December 1986 I enlisted in the United States Army and shipped to basic training on August 13, 1987. I never thought I would be a career soldier. I was an enlisted soldier for 20 plus years.

Show notes

Perry “DOC” Black was born and raised in the great state of Louisiana in 1965. In 1983, two weeks after graduating high school, he left for his first tour in the Army. Perry hated the Army life and left the Army 3 ½ years later and became a steel fabricator in Louisville KY. After working for 5 years as a civilian, after losing his job due to involvement with union organizing. He then spent the next six months partying and one morning he woke up staring at the ceiling and decided to return to the Army. Perry decided he wanted to be an Airborne Ranger and was lucky enough to get a Ranger contract. Ironically enough, Perry had never heard of the 75th Ranger Regiment and was unaware of the destiny awaiting him in becoming such an influential member of the Regiment. His career as a Ranger started when he arrived in 3/75th in July of 91. He is a combat veteran of the Battle of Mogadishu, Somalia in 93, which is the inspiration for the famous book “Black Hawk Down”, written by author Mark Bowden, and movie directed by Ridley Scott. Doc served in 3/75th, from 91-97. He then went to Task Force 160, where he worked as a Special Operations Flight Medic from 97-99. He returned to his beloved Ranger Regiment, at 1/75th, from 99-01 as BN Senior Medic. He was then selected to be the Joint Special Operations Medic Course, Ranger Liaison. He served as Trauma instructor and later became the first Ranger NCOIC of the Special Operations Combat Medic Course and retired from active duty in 2007. Some of his awards and decorations include the Bronze Star with Valor 3-Oct 1993, MSM x 6, numerous ARCOM’s and AAM’s, EFMB, CFMB, Ranger Tab and Aviation Crewmember Wings.
