A Surprise Tennis & Racquet Complex worker was recently fired after an anonymous letter sent to city staff outlined concerns over his previous career in the sex entertainment industry.

Buckeye resident Geoff Mena, the former employee of Surprise's Community and Recreation Services Department, said he once worked in Web design, a minority portion of which included Web sites with sexual content, from June 2000 to December 2006.

Mena said he owned both adult and non-adult Web companies, designed pages, hosted an adult Web radio show and "very, very rarely" got in front of the camera in sex videos.

"There was some nudity" but the videos did not show his face, he said, and "I was not a porn star."

Before 2000, Mena had a 12-year tennis career in California and worked as a tennis director at a country club near Palm Springs that employed his acquaintance, one-time Wimbledon doubles champion and current Surprise Tennis & Racquet Complex Director John Austin.

Mena moved to Arizona in 2005. He said two years passed before he reconnected with Austin, a Scottsdale resident.

After Austin was named director of Surprise's new 25-court Tennis & Racquet Complex around August 2006, Mena said he spoke with him over lunch about jobs available at the center.

"I disclosed to (Austin) my entire involvement in the adult entertainment industry, we decided that it was OK and that people were allowed to have other jobs outside of that business," Mena said.

Mena said he was chosen for the tennis center position from about 150 applicants. He started work Aug. 13, and said his duties involved coordinating adult tennis programs, making phone calls and working the tennis center's front desk.

Mena asserted that at least some city management also knew about his previous career in adult entertainment. Austin and other city staff declined to comment on anything involving Mena, citing privacy laws.

"Late last year, I had a change of heart and wanted to get back into tennis," Mena said. "It's personally more rewarding and satisfying than sitting behind a desk or at a computer designing Web pages."

However, a letter sent to Austin dated Aug. 30 and signed "A concerned parent and Surprise resident" read, "My friend and I were talking to the tennis pro, Geoff Mena, about lessons, tournaments, etc. for our families. Once we returned home, we decided to 'google' his name to check his teaching credentials. It was at this time that we discovered that he also is involved in the adult entertainment industry. As a former Marine, I am certainly not a prude, but, after some discussion, Mr. Mena's other career made us wary of him teaching our wives, daughters and their teenage friends."

Mena was terminated around Sept. 11. He said that he was not given a reason for his firing, but added that if it had anything to do with the anonymous letter concerning his previous career, he thought the firing was a violation of his freedom of speech and was discriminatory.

"It demonizes me in a way. I'm not a criminal, I'm not a sex offender - I was at one time employed in the entertainment industry," Mena said. "I'm a law-abiding citizen."

Mena said he is contemplating taking legal action as a result of his firing.

The six-month period after a new city employee is hired is considered that employee's introductory period, and the city has the right to terminate that employee at any time during that period without providing a reason, said city spokeswoman Diane Arthur.

Mena said his lower-level job in the tennis center paid about $39,000 a year.

Since leaving the city, Mena said that he has returned to designing Web sites.

He wasnt posting about it then. Of course he wasnt working on a new project for a program until now either.

[LAJ]

They never got married.

[Forest]

ohhh noooooooo

I may never beable to work at a tennis club now

[EmporerEJ]

Oh darn.....
Now the non-adult industry won't want me anymore because they can't face their actual selves and admit they are porn customers.

When I finally "Wise up," and Get a "Respectable Job," like I used to have, you know, renting Disney movies in the front of the store while mom & dad slipped in the back to "get one for later," I won't be able to work with THOSE people.

Boy, look at that, I really sabotaged myself by using my REAL Name, and My REAL picture, didn't I?
I guess I'm just marked forever, now aren't I?

(Can you see the sarcasm dripping from your screen.......?)

[tony404]

Why was he wearing porn ties to work ? They are funny and all but not for work. lol

I tell everybody my real name is Eric White. ;-)

Seriously though, I have always used my real name and picture too. There will always be morons in the world and I don't give a shit what they think.

More often than not, when someone finds out I am in adult, I am treated more like a hero than anything else. Or maybe they just want free porn from me?

LOL Tony.

I dont know about being treated as a hero but if youve noticed Ive started using my real name in press releases and stuff. Im not ashamed of what I do and I have nothing to hide.

Lends a lot of credibility I think.

[EmporerEJ]

Let's Hear it for the REAL people!!!!

HOORAY!
(About damn time)




Gotta get me some of them "porn Ties."

I got one that looks like the insides of a computer, but no porn ties.

Maybe I should have said "rock star" instead of hero.

One of my neighbors is in a death metal band that just got signed and they are going on tour.

Lots of people would think that is pretty cool.

When I was chatting with him this week and told him what I do, he thought I was cooler than him.

[EmporerEJ]

No, I like hero.

How about if you guys be what you want, and I'll be a rock star Hero?
:-)

You're going to need alot more hair.

Yes, I know that was a cheap shot, but it was just far too easy to pass up.

[Greg B]

Heck, I used my name from day one.

Reason being I wanted everyone to know. Why? Because I'm still protesting
the fact that our society will go off the bend about sex but it's okay to
subsidize mass murder, proliferate pharmaceuticals, elect morons with
psychopathic tendencies, invade other countries on hearsay, engage in
genocide, but you let one woman show up on tv nude and you have half the
population on Earth ready to riot.

It's psychopathic and that's that.

I remember as a kid tv shows would display those hideous concentration camp
films on a daily basis. Also the most grisly war footage and that was at dinner time.

For him to be fired due to an 'anonymous' tip, that's unfair. He should get a lawyer and sue their asses off for discrimination.

I remember Disney bitching aobut us artists. Who and what we drew. Yet none of us got busted by the federal government for sweat shop slave labor right here in Los Angeles.

I wish some cocksucker would try that shit with me. I'd drop so many attorneys on their asses you'd think it was the ambulance chasers convention.

Dude, next time I get my hair cut, I could save some for you. What are friends for. I know its foreign hair, but I think its almost as good as American hair and you don't even have to tell your friends...either of them. No need to thank me, just let me know where to send it.

Gee, and I was sooooo hoping you had been "renditioned."
I know I gave them your address.

It was so pleasant around here when you were gone......

Couldn't have been that pleasant. You were still here. Ok, back at it emp. Post some more words of wisdom from your basement in whatever hillbilly town it is you live in. God Bless America.

ive used my first and last name since my first day in this biz back in 99

my first event i used my real name and it also happens to be my dads name as well and he had no idea what I was doing at the time. His phone started ringing from reporters looking for me and asking for my name about the event

blew his fucking mind LOL

[Greg B]

I used my real name because I knew back then having been on the inside of the net from way before it was popular there is no real anonymity on the web. A guy may skirt for awhile but eventually he'll give himself up and get busted.

I remember I contacted every cousin of mine with the same name who was on the web and showed em' what I was doing and why. We Boones are hellraisers and they all gave me the thumbs up.

Heck, they get such hot dates because of it no wonder they don't complain.

But back to the story.

Fuck those cocksuckers that fired that guy. It's discrimination no doubt and that's that. He's got a right to face his accusers and that anonymous shit don't wash. The balless fuck who wrote that crap about him ought to meet him in the parking lot squared up instead of like some pussy in the shadows.
