Affable Everyman of Porn Excited to Be Nominated for Third Year in a Row!
Chicago—Tad Pole is excited to announce that once again he has been nominated for the 2026 XMA Creator Awards in the category Male Clip Creator of Year! Nominees were selected from pre-nomination entries submitted by the global adult entertainment community. For Tad, who would love nothing more than to take home the award, he’s got his fingers crossed that the third time is the charm!
“It’s a real honor to be nominated for the third year in a row for the coveted Male Clip Creator of Year nomination,” Tad shared. “There are thousands of male creators out there and to be one of the few selected is no easy feat! I will never take these nominations for granted.”
Tad explained how much it would mean for him to win this year.
“The prior years I was happy to be nominated but this time I would love to leave XBIZ Miami with some hardware. This past year I’ve created some incredible content in both 2D and Virtual Reality 3D which even involved fans.”
Ever humble, the affable everyman of porn concluded by thanking everyone involved, from XBIZ to the performers he worked with to the fans themselves.
“Thank you to all the amazing female stars that worked with me. Thank you to XMA/XBIZ for having the awards where creators can be recognized. Also, thank you to Wolf Dom, Sal Shooter, Madison Wilde, Rex Radiation, Tiny Khloe, and Rebel Rhyder for their work behind the camera this past year. Last but certainly not least, thank you to the fans that pre-nominated me!”
Honoring the most captivating personalities and creative artists in adult entertainment, the XMA Creator Awards will serve as the glamorous capstone to XBIZ Miami, North America’s largest summer conference for creators and digital media players, set for May 11-13 in South Beach, Florida.

About Tad Pole:
Tad Pole started his journey into the world of adult entertainment by hosting lifestyle parties in Chicago. The 20-year Navy vet and former teacher quickly met stunningly beautiful women who loved gangbangs. Some of these special ladies wanted to be porn stars but didn’t know where to begin. Pole began to record his parties to gain exposure and help the girls get discovered. Acting as director, producer, and frequent male performer, the new divorcee filmed gangbangs and orgies, uploading them to Pornhub and earning ad revenue. Soon, talent agencies began reaching out.
Tad Pole is now a well-known and popular pro-am producer in the adult entertainment industry, and he has a growing library of fan-favorite scenes on his website. In 2021, TadpoleXStudio won the award for ManyVids Producer Vid of the Year. The everyman of porn, Tad Pole has been nominated three times for Best Pro-Am Studio at the Urban X Awards. He has also been nominated for Best Male Porn Star in the ASN Lifestyle Magazine Awards as well as Male Clip Creator of the Year in the 2024 XBIZ Creator Awards. He was nominated for Niche Specialty Performer of the Year at the 2025 AVN Awards Show and for the coveted “Best Male Clip Creator of the Year” category at the 2025 XMA Creator Awards. Tad was also nominated for Best Pro-Am Producer at the 2025 ASN Awards last year and is nominated again in 2026.
He was also nominated for Niche Specialty Performer of the Year at the 2026 AVN Awards Show for the second year in a row, and for Best Indie/Amateur Movie or Series for his popular DVD and VOD series Tad Pole Fucks Pretty Babes!
