Born as Linda Ann Hopkins, Tera Patrick moved to New York City and her career as a runway and catalog model began.
At 18, she left the world of modeling and enrolled at Boise State University. She later transferred to the University of California at Santa Barbara, where for financial reasons she began fashion modeling again.
While at Boise State, Patrick earned an AAS degree in nursing and a BS in Biology.
On January 9, 2004, Patrick married Evan Seinfeld in a small ceremony, after a three-year relationship, in Las Vegas where they were attending the 2004 AVN Awards show. In November 2006, Patrick starred in a Vivid/Teravision production titled "Tera Patrick's Fashion Underground" where she performed with Jean Val Jean and Tommy Gunn.
In the same film her husband, under the name Spyder Jonez, performed with Lanny-Barbie. In an interview, Tera Patrick says she's OK with him doing scenes with other girls. The two have made five movies for Vivid and ten for Teravision (with Seinfeld appearing under the name "Spyder Jonez"; he has also directed some features).
In 2005, Patrick and Seinfeld launched a talent agency representing models and actors/actresses. According to a quote on the agency's website, Patrick's goal "is to help girls (and guys) in the business to be treated with respect, and realize their true potential...." She also owns a production company called "Teravision," which along with Vivid Video released its first feature, "Desperate," starring Patrick and Seinfeld. In April 2006, it was announced that she would host the Exxxotica Miami convention.
The couple announced their split on September 30, 2009, but they will remain business partners.
