Where and when where you born?
(April fools day) April 1st, 1985 in Danville Pennsylvania.

Anything you would like to say about where you live now for those of us that have never been there before?
I live in a small town that's exactly in the middle of anywhere important you need to get to. I'm in the middle of Philadelphia/NewYorkCity/New Jersey/and Stroudsburg nothings more than 2 1/2 hours away. Even though I plan to get out of my town and move to the big city it works great for now gettin' started in the modeling industry for getting to photo shoots & auditions.

What's your favorite pastime or favorite activity?
My favorite pastime, besides modeling of course is hanging out with my friends because they all aspire to be somewhat famous someday like myself. We hit up night clubs like Twist, Roxy, Avalon and Heaven, shopping in NYC and Philly and I just like hanging out at cafe's reading the latest fashion magazines.

 

 

What's the worst job you ever had and why?
I hate to admit this but i used to work at a Dairy Queen, it was my first summer job and they were the only place that would take a newbie like myself without any experience. The pay was bad, the shifts were long, and to top it all off my manager was a thief. But besides all of that id have to say the worst part about it was the uniforms.

What inspired you to be a model or what road lead you to modeling?
Ever since I was a child I loved the camera and it loved me. My family used to take me to photo shoots and baby pageants, but they never forced me so my modeling career stopped before it really began. It wasn't until i finished high school two years ago that i decided I wanted to pursue modeling again. The first photographer to see something in me and give me the time of day was a NYC photographer named "StevenGoMillion" he was looking for test models and chose me for a "time for prints" shoot. Meaning he would get a model and in exchange I would get photos. Ever since then he has helped my modeling career by getting me modeling jobs here and there and by getting my face out there. StevenGoMillion has gotten my face and pictures in print ads, store fronts and websites. Since then I have been working with someone who works for Ford Models and am trying to get my foot in the door. I don't only plan on making it in NYC I also plan on making it Internationally. Any wild experiences so far (good or bad)? I really haven't had a bad experience yet (thank god) as for good experiences I'd have to say I have a love for the runway and the coolest thing I've gotten to do was walk the runway at a "MAC Cosmetics" beauty fashion runway show. They did this crazy black Zorro-esc mask made out of make up that felt like tar with gold tinsel outlining my face. It was a great experience.

Do you have a philosophy or something you've learned in your life that you would like to share with our readers?
Honestly this is a hard business to get into, I'm not going to lie if theres one thing I've learned you need to know someone. You need to meet as many people as possible and get connections, get yourself out there anyway you can, even if its just some little local job. Because its all about exposure, the more places your face and body are the more chances you have of getting picked up because that's all it takes is one person. One person that sees something in you and gives you that chance to prove that you have what it takes. Everyone now a days wants to be a model but they have no idea all the hard work/time and effort that goes into it. The work is definitely worth it in the end, the final product makes it all worth while.

What is your ultimate goal?
My ultimate goal is to be represented by someone big and great like Wilamina, Ford or Elite and to make a great career out of modeling. I want to travel the world, and work with famous designers like Yves Saint Laureate, Dolce and Gabbana, Versace and even break into the big screen, I honestly want to do it all and will the right help from my personal manager and any other modeling/talent agency that picks me up along the way. Everyone has something their good at so that's what they do, this happens to be mine.

What's your style like for photo shoots?
I like to create my own style, mixing and matching things that don't really go and making it work. I like pushing the envelope, and turnings heads... but in a good way. I like getting noticed, my regular day clothes actually can be confused for clothes from a photo shoot. I defiantly make sure I'm put together because in the line of work I'm in I feel its very important to be up on the latest trends, fashion do's and don'ts, and keep up current style.. sometimes even a little ahead.

Care to discuss the subject of sexual preference?
I don't think you should label love. Why should gender be a determining factor on weather or not you like someone. If its there its there weather there a guy or a girl. Right? but non the less I'm definitely a man for a man... lets just leave it at that.

Do you have any other jobs besides modeling?
I am a waiter and bartender at a local Italian restaurant, and I am the shot boy at a local night club/bar called "Twist" in Northeast Pennsylvania.
