Hailing from Toluca Lake, California, Long told AVN in 2017 that he always knew the industry was a good profession for him.

"I’ve owned two businesses in the past, and I just really didn’t feel like doing that any more," Long said. "Just wanted something in my normal everyday life, which is sex. And I felt like getting paid for it while I do it.”

Mark Schechter, the agent who represented Long throughout his career said he was devastated after learning that Long had died.

"He will forever hold a place in my heart," Schechter told AVN, "Having met Logan six years ago this month, bringing him onto the ATMLA roster as a new young male rising star, we grew very close, he referred to me as Pop. I watched him mature and succeed as a top male performer. Rest in peace my dear Logan."
