I was born on the June 13, 1984 in Hawaii as an only. I'm half Japanese, a quarter Hawaiian and a quarter Puerto Rican, so yes, I'm a "dirty" mutt, hehe. I have always enjoyed sex since an early age. I first kissed a boy at age twelve, first gave oral sex to a boy at age thirteen and lost my virginity at fourteen. My first job growing up was a lei greeter (girls who adorn visitors with large petal necklaces) at the airport on Hawaii and was one of the best!

As I grew older I decided that I wanted to live in the United States and moved to California. I became an exotic dancer and when I was nineteen I decided that I wanted to start producing pornographic movies, which I started in late 2002. The move to pornographic material was spurred by an agent who approached me when I was dancing and offered me nude modelling oppurtunities. I agreed and first appeared in a string of pro-am films like Up N Cummers 116, progressing from there until my first major pornographic movie releases in the year 2003.

In the past I have used the stage names 'Nautica' and 'Nautica Thorne' although most of my fans now associate me just as Nautica. Many producers have commented that I could easily go into producing my own line of videos if I wanted to, now that I have the recognition amongst fans to do so.
