How discovered:
My parents were both models and my father has kept all his contacts with the major agencies because he started cDs Global: software specific for our industry. I went to a meeting with him to visit Frederic Benfaid from New Madison for business one day. My parents had always said that modeling helped them travel so when Frederic offered to sign me, I was really keen as it means I can travel and play basketball at the same time. I now am signed to several agencies and it is great.
