As the literal son of a preacher man in San Diego, Small Hands grew up to be a punk musician and an artist. When a friend introduced him to Burning Angel founder Joanna Angel, the iconic punk rock porn star/director, they hit it off right away and became a couple. Joanna could see he was a talented artist and recruited him to do design and production work for the company. This led to him performing in Burning Angel films.
As Small Hands stretched his skills into romantic roles for Wicked and gangbangs for an array of major studios (Kink, Jules Jordan Video, Digital Sin, and more), he became a prolific star in the porn industry. He's won too many awards to list, including many from Altporn (2020 Male Performer of the Year), AVN (Best Supporting Actor in 2018, Male Performer of the Year in 2020 and 2021), XBIZ (Best Supporting Actor and Male Performer of the Year in 2018, as well as several shared awards for scenes), and XRCO (2019 Male Performer of the Year).
In 2021, Small Hands and his band, Empty Streets, signed a deal with Cleopatra Records.
