Ricky Sinz

Born November 12, 1968 · Chicago, Illinois

Raging Stallion's 2009 Man of the Year, Ricky Sinz was born in 1980 and raised in Chicago in the American mid-west. Before going into porn, he served in the US Army's special forces and then became a professional mixed martial arts fighter, appearing in tournaments around the world. Identifying as bisexual, inked Ricky was one of the owners of the straight porno outfit Hole and a Heartbeat Studios, earning his producing and directing spurs. But he was then signed by Raging Stallion in 2007, later becoming its first Lifetime Exclusive. He will not only continue appearing in front of the camera - doubtless normally as a top - but is also involved in planning new projects for the studio. Ricky, whose nickname is The Hammer, was stabbed more than 20 times as a teenager when he leapt in to defend a girl. In 2009, he was named best actor at the GayVN Awards.
