Mangs started figure skating at the age of 9, and won medals in Swedish Figure Skating Championships, and in Nordic Figure Skating Championship representing Sweden. After a knee injury put an end to his competitive career, he toured with Disney On Ice as a principal skater, starring as Hades from Hercules, Bagheera from The Jungle Book, and Scar from The Lion King. In 2007, he appeared (under his real name, Joel Mangs) on the Dutch TV show Dancing on Ice. He has participated and won medals in figure skating at the Gay Games and the World Outgames. He has also worked as a trainer for young figure skaters in the Netherlands.

Patton made his adult film debut in 2003 in Australia in a film directed by Chi Chi LaRue for Falcon Studios. He worked exclusively for Falcon for two years, mostly as a top, making his bottoming debut in Heaven to Hell (2005). He later also worked for Colt. Patton announced his retirement from the adult film industry in 2007, but briefly returned for a non-sex cameo in Earthbound: Heaven To Hell 2 (2017). He had been featured in DNA magazine #77 in 2006. And in 2011, J. C. Adams included him in his list of 100 most famous porn stars, in his book Gay Porn Heroes, in The Superhung category. In 2016, a hoax photoset of a picture of Mike Pence and a picture of Brad Patton, with the caption "Mike Pence – blast from the gay past.” went viral, purporting to show Pence as a young, gay porn star.
