Trevor Hennig's specialty was library science in his pre-porn career. He completed a graduate degree in 1987 and worked in the information field for over a decade. As the Internet became increasing popular, he taught himself HTML and gradually developed the idea for an honest, consumer-friendly portal to the gay adult net. He launched BananaGuide.com in December 2000, when the wild west days of the adult Internet were at their apex and the idea of providing objective reviews of gay membership sites was a radical concept. BananaGuide.com has since evolved into a leading gay porn blog, directory and review site.
