Flesh light was founded in Las Cruces when I lived there. Partied at his house a few times. I believe he’s moved now.
Boca Burger is made a few miles from me. Other than that it’s all oil and gas. |

Supposedly the fleshlight was invented as a seamen collection device for the medical field. But nobody bought it. So he marketed it as a male sex toy and wen't gang busters. I have always wondered if that was a bullshit story so he didn't look like a sex toy dealer from the beginning. |
