February 26, 2021 7:00 PMPleasure - By LOS ANGELES Dennis Paradise always had a head for business. Growing up with an entrepreneurial father whose Chicago-based condom manufacturing business he worked and shared a passion for, Paradise knew early on the importance of building on relationships and providing customers with high quality products. But when his father passed away unexpectedly and high inheritance taxes ended the family business, Paradise decided to strike out on his own and build a new company in the warmer skies of sunny California. Today, the AVN Hall of Famer is celebrating 43 years in business at Paradise Marketing, a leading distributor of condoms, lubricants, sex toys and related products. Looking back on his career, the industry veteran is thankful to his clients, friends and colleagues, but most of all to his father who provided him with the experience and inspiration for success.
