Courtney Simpson was raised in a devout Mormon family,with her father being an oral surgeon. In her early life she was a gymnast for 10 years, wining a national bar contest. In high school she had 4.2 GPA, awarding her a full academic scholarship to Arizona State University intending to major in either marketing or broadcasting. Courtney wanted to stay a virgin until she was married, but sex was constantly a topic of discussion with her fellow cheerleaders. While still in Arizona, Courtney responded to an advertisement for nude modeling, ultimately leading to a photo shoot of her performing oral sex on Allure website, and later on her own website based on her first name and last name after Jessica Simpson. In 2005 Courtney met Nicole Brazzle. With Brazzle as her talent agent she performed a gonzo, and urolagnia scene as her first shoot. By July 2005, Simpson separated with Brazzle to sign up to a Los Angeles agency. Courtney's parents found out about her career choice when pornographic pictures where left on their door steps. Her parents disapproved, she moved out to California to perform porn full time. Later her parents came to terms with her career choice. Her driver became her boyfriend, and she performed with him, as he took on the name Jason Cox. In 2006 she was nominated for an AVN award for best all girl scene. By the end of her first year in porn she amassed 182 films. In May 2006 she bought a house in Arizona, while she was still living in California. In September 2006, she retired from the industry.
