How discovered:<\/strong>
\nMy buddy comes to New York City once a week and does deliveries for his father\u2019s company and I\u2019d never really been to the city so I went with him one day just over a year ago. We were walking around and some guy came up to me and asked, \u201cWhat agency are you with?\u201d I was like, \u201cUh, I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re talking about,\u201d and then he gave me his card and told me to check out his agency. I did and then because they were so interested I checked out a few more, and then a week later I decided to sign with Request.<\/p>\n

What was your first response when he asked you that?<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s kind of funny, I wasn\u2019t actually that surprised because within that year I feel like four or five other people had said the same thing to me. I used to work on a beach\u2014I still do sometimes \u2014 and I was an ice cream man, but it\u2019s old school like I walk with a box of ice cream, and people there were like, \u201cOh, you should look into modeling.\u201d So I wasn\u2019t that surprised that he came up to me, but it was definitely a big shock first getting into the modeling world.<\/p>\n

What were you doing before you started modeling?<\/strong>
\nI was bartending and an ice cream man and studying education. I have two semesters left. I\u2019m probably going to take a little longer now, but I also coach freshman football so I can teach and coach when modeling is over. My friend and I also just bought the ice cream truck and a hot dog cart on the beach. We worked it for four or five years and now because of my funds I was able to do that finally, so we pretty much run it. We usually work too somedays, but if we can\u2019t we have a few other guys who can hop in and do it too.<\/p>\n

Favorite things:<\/strong>
\nMy love is sports. It would probably be football and basketball mainly. I love all kinds of sports and I want to be a physical education teacher. I played football and basketball my whole entire life and now that I know I\u2019m not playing it, I want to at least coach it and be a part of it. I also love weightlifting and fitness and learning different types of workouts. I\u2019m also pretty big into snowboarding and dirt biking. Obviously that\u2019s seasonal so I try and do it when I can, or else it\u2019s pretty much spending time at the beach. I\u2019ve lived there my whole life so it\u2019s all I know.<\/p>\n

What are you listening to at the moment?<\/strong>
\nHonestly I could listen to almost anything. I\u2019m a Christian, so I try to always keep it as clean as possible. I do like big artists and I like to listen to them, but again I always try to keep it clean for the most part so there\u2019s boundaries there, but I\u2019ll listen to hip hop, pop, even country. I\u2019m not picky at all when it comes to that.<\/p>\n

Favorite movie, tv show:<\/strong>
\nI probably have two favorite TV shows, and they\u2019re a little corny but I love them. One\u2019s called Friday Night Lights. That\u2019s probably my favorite, but I just finished One Tree Hill and honestly I was a pretty big fan of that too. It\u2019s mainly the same thing, it\u2019s just basketball. Those two shows I just loved. They\u2019re corny, I know. My favorite movie, I can\u2019t put a finger on that to be honest, but if I have to say one of them, It\u2019s a Wonderful Life. That\u2019s definitely in my top five.<\/p>\n

Favorite designer, fragrance or beauty product:<\/strong>
\nMy favorite that I can wear all the time would be Nike, but if money wasn\u2019t an object, it would probably be Versace. I\u2019ve worked a lot with them in the past year and I just really fell in love with their clothes to be honest. They\u2019re not too overstyled or too much craziness, but at the same time, if you\u2019re rocking something by them, you\u2019re going to stand out.<\/p>\n

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?<\/strong>
\nHopefully finish school as fast as possible this year and be substitute teaching on the side and coaching football. I\u2019d be hopefully looking to land a job coaching basketball.<\/p>\n

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?<\/strong>
\nI don\u2019t do it much because I don\u2019t really have people to do it with, but I do love board games. Monopoly\u2019s good but you never finish it so I\u2019d probably have to go with Life as my favorite. Life\u2019s a solid one. Sorry\u2019s a really good one too. Those are my two favorites, I just don\u2019t get to play them much.<\/p>\n

First modeling job?<\/strong>
\nIt was for VMAN with Bruce Weber in Montauk. All my agents were asking me, \u201cYou know who Bruce Weber is, right?\u201d I was like, \u201cNo, not a clue,\u201d and they started bringing up Abercrombie and all his work and I kind of had an idea, but I still didn\u2019t recognize how big of a deal it was until I finally Googled him and did a little bit of research. Then I was like, \u201cAlright, I guess this is pretty serious,\u201d so I had to get my butt down to Montauk. I hadn\u2019t wanted to drive there at first. It was like four\u00ad and\u00ad a\u00ad half hours for two days not paying, and I was like, \u201cOh gosh, is this what modeling is all about?\u201d But obviously I didn\u2019t understand how it went. I was super nervous at first, because he has a pretty big crew and they\u2019re very professional. I was not expecting that, but I\u2019m really grateful that I got to work with him so many times because he\u2019s such a great photographer. He\u2019s very easygoing and relaxed. There\u2019s not that much pressure and I think he really helped mold me into becoming a better model because of that. I didn\u2019t have a bad experience with him so it really helped.<\/p>\n

Favorite modeling experience so far?<\/strong>
\nThere\u2019s been a few good ones. I got to do a fragrance for Versace and that experience was way over the top in a good way. I feel like I grew so much in modeling just in those three days that we shot. It was just an amazing experience. One hundred and twenty plus people all coming together for a picture or a ten\u00adsecond video and just trying to make it as perfect as possible was something else.<\/p>\n

Bruce Weber made a 3D scan of you for a candle for the new issue of Visionaire. What was that experience like?<\/strong>
\nI was definitely a little nervous. That was really only my second shoot and I was still trying to get comfortable in front of the camera and now instead of one camera, there were fifty-plus cameras so it was a little nerve\u00ad wracking. You\u2019re in this huge spherical thing with a bunch of cameras all over, but you have to stay very still and in this little square boundary so you have to work around that. I got to make a lot of specific poses that I knew from doing sports so it ended up being really cool and I\u2019m glad I got to be a part of it. When I first started modeling, one of the first goals was to be in different kinds of magazines or billboards, but I don\u2019t think many guys can say they\u2019ve been molded into a candle, so I\u2019m going to have to say that\u2019s definitely a top memory for me in modeling.<\/p>\n

What’s the best thing about your hometown\/country?<\/strong>
\nIt would probably be the beach. I live ten minutes from the beach\u2014I\u2019m not on the beach exactly, but it is a beach town and just knowing that you can go there at any time of the day or night all year round and just enjoy that peacefulness has probably been the best thing growing up in my hometown.<\/p>\n

Which brand would you really love to model for?<\/strong>
\nI was just thinking about this the other day. When I started modeling, I really didn\u2019t know anything about anything. It was bad, but if there was one thing I did know, it was I wanted to somehow make it really big with GQ because I always knew about that growing up, and I want to be, still, the Calvin Klein guy, like that guy you look at like, \u201cOh there he is again, there\u2019s the Calvin Klein guy.\u201d That would be a dream job for me.<\/p>\n

Place you would love to visit:<\/strong>
\nProbably Hawaii. I\u2019ve just seen so many pictures and heard so many stories. It just looks surreal, so that would definitely be a dream to vacation there.<\/p>\n

Currently you’re obsessed with\/about:<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m probably going to have to say almond butter. I don\u2019t know why it took me forever to try almond butter. I loved peanut butter and then of course people were like, \u201cOh, you should try almond butter, it\u2019s healthier.\u201d I\u2019ve probably had that and an apple together like for the past 37 days straight.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the best piece of advice you\u2019ve ever been given?<\/strong>
\nIt would probably be from my grandfather. It\u2019s cliche, but he is literally one of the greatest men I ever met and he\u2019s just done life the right way and he\u2019s still going strong at 85 years old. He was my football coach too almost my whole life growing up and one of the main things he always said was, \u201cDon\u2019t count the time, make the time count.\u201d I don\u2019t know why, but it\u2019s just been glued to the back of my head ever since he said it to me when I was like 12 years old.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
