Stevens earned a degree in photography from the Rochester Institute of Technology, worked at Eastman Kodak Company and was a shift supervisor at Movielab, the largest independent motion picture processing facility in New York, before going into film-making. He made 8 mm loops, appeared in over 50 adult films between around 1973 and 1993, and directed about 40 films between 1972 and 1996, including a series of films for the Avon Theater chain.[ citation needed ]

After Stevens's film Punk Rock received favorable reviews and with the increasing popularity of the punk rock music genre, he re-edited and released the film into an R-rated version, replacing explicit sex footage with more music and expanded plot. [2]

He fought battles with drugs, a life-threatening heart attack, and charges of obscenity before re-emerging in the 1990s and early 2000s to produce the BDSM-related S&M News, and several print publications. [3]
