Vorlage:Short description Vorlage:Use American English Vorlage:Use mdy dates Vorlage:Infobox martial artist
Aaron Franklin Brink (born November 12, 1974 -May 16, 2023),[1] also known by his stage name Dick Delaware, was an American professional mixed martial artist and pornographic film actor who competed in the Light Heavyweight division. He competed for King of the Cage, RINGS, UFC and World Extreme Cagefighting. Out of 57 career bouts, only one went to decision.
Brink made several mainstream appearances, including episodes of Intervention and Divorce Court. He portrayed Electro in Spider-Man XXX: A Porn Parody (2011). In 2019, Brink returned to the adult industry after a five-year hiatus.
He is the father of Anderson Lee Aldrich, who is accused of perpetrating the Club Q shooting in November 2022.[2]
In May of 2023, Brink passed away from undisclosed causes.[3]
Early life
Aaron Brink was born on November 12, 1974, in Newport Beach, California.[4] Raised by his blue-collar father in Huntington Beach, he developed passions for wrestling and surfing.[5] Brink attended Huntington High before being expelled for fighting.[5] From 1989 to 1992, he was in and out of juvenile detention centers on eight occasions.[5]
Brink was arrested and sentenced to serve time for smuggling marijuana from Mexico into the United States.[5] While at the Federal Correctional Institution, Terminal Island Brink spent his days training to fight on a heavy bag.[5] He was released at age 24.[5]
Career
After being released from prison, Brink connected with an old friend who encouraged him to enter mixed martial arts.[5] He made his debut at the West Coast NHB Championships in December 1998, winning three fights via knockout.[6][5] By 2003, he had fought 24 times, compiling a record of 15-8 (1). He has competed for the Gladiator Challenge promotion where he was Interim Heavyweight Champion and the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.
Brink entered the adult film industry under the name "Dick Delaware" after being encouraged by a producer at a party.[5] He shot his first scene in 2002.[7]
Brink's adult film career was first revealed after he appeared in an episode of the television series Intervention discussing his addiction to methamphetamine. Brink later returned to the adult industry.[5][8]
Personal life
Brink married Laura Voepel, the daughter of California politician Randy Voepel, in 1999, and divorced her in 2001.[9] Brink struggled with a long-ter addiction to methamphetamine.[8]
He is the father of Anderson Lee Aldrich, who is accused of perpetrating the Club Q shooting on November 19–20, 2022.[2] Brink stated that he "praised [Aldrich] for violent behavior really early", affirming that it was "instant with immediate results".[8] Aldrich sought to dissociate with his father after moving to Colorado, changing his name to "protect himself" from Brink.[8]
In an interview after the shooting, Brink stated that he was a "conservative Republican" and a Mormon, he stated that when he learned the shooting was at an LGBTQ bar, he was initially horrified by the possibility that Aldrich might be gay, then relieved to discover that was not the case.[10] The reporter later mentioned that his reaction was not included in the original report, but when Brink learned about the victims, he profusely apologized to the community.[11]
On May 21, 2016, Brink and another man were arrested in Rocklin, California, for attempted burglary and possession of a firearm.[4] Brink was also charged for violation of parole and being under the influence of a controlled substance.[4]
