Tera Patrick's height (5' 9"), exotic look (her mother is Thai and her father was an American Army doctor of English and Dutch descent) and spectacular body would seem more suited to a high-fashion model - which is exactly what she was, having spent five years as a model with the world-famous Ford Agency. She was born in Montana, and her family moved to San Francisco shortly thereafter. Her mother soon left the family to go back to Thailand, and she was raised in San Francisco by her father.

While strolling around that city's famed Fisherman's Wharf one day, she was spotted by a talent scout for Morning Sun, an international division of the prestigious Ford Modeling Agency, and at the tender age of 13 was signed to a contract. Tera Patrick holds degrees in microbiology and nursing and began modeling while still in her teens. She shifted into the adult market in 2000 and is the co-owner of a talent agency specifically for adult artists.
