QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q: How long have you been modeling?

A: I have always wanted to be a model, and have seriously been modeling for over three years.

Q: Do you have any pets?

A: Yes. I have the sweetest and most gentle Pit-Bull Terrier mix. Her name is Rosie. She greets me every day and is at my constant side, especially guarding me while I am sleeping. She is a great companion.

Q: What is your favorite foods?

A: I like a lot of different foods but some of my favorites are Steak, Shrimp, Chicken Parm, Tofu Pad Thai, Sushi, Pizza, a good Burger, Burritos, very spicy Wings, Salmon, and on a rare occasion, Cheese Fries. I absolutely love veggies and fruit.

I really do watch everything I eat. I try not to eat empty calories and foods that do nothing for my body. With that being said, I do enjoy an occasional treat.  

Q. How often do you work out?

A: I have seriously been starting working out on a strict regimen for over a year. I am in the gym five days a week and I have a home gym, as well. 

Q: Being a model, do you like to travel?
A: Honestly, I like the destination. The actual traveling part, not-so-much. Airports and train stations make me anxious. Luckily, I have a really close friend who constantly checks on me. We are constantly texting until the plane is in the air.
 

As I travel more, my anxiety becomes less. 

Q: What are your favorite movies or TV shows?

A: My favorite movie is "Scarface." Loving Netflix. I watch just about anything from comedies, action/adventure, stand-up comedy, and especially lots of documentaries. I love learning about everything! 

Q: What is your sexual preference?

A: I am just a man! In all honesty and not to be rude, people seem to have an out-in-out obsession with what a person does in their own bedroom or in private, and with whom.

I never bring my sexuality to a shoot because it is not important!

Q : Who is your most favorite photographer with whom you have worked?

A: Not to sound corny but I have loved working with all of them. I think I sponge knowledge and learn something from each shoot! Every photographer has such a different vision and I love being part of it all!

I have done multiple shoots with several photographers. It is always an honor and privilege to asked back to work them!

Q: How long does one of your shoots last?

A: Depending on the type of shoot, the photographer and location, a shoot can last anywhere between two to four hours.

I have participated in outdoor location shoots at the crack of dawn. Some photographers prefer shooting on location in the late afternoon. I have also participated in late evening studio shoots, lasting to about 3:00 AM. 

Q: I noticed that you are available for all types of photo sessions but you do not do erotica. Why?

A: Simply put, I am not a porn model. There is a vast difference between posing as a figure model, and posing and performing sexual acts. I prefer to be known in the industry for my modeling in fashion, lifestyle, art figure and editorial work.

Please understand that I feel that there is nothing wrong with working in the adult industry. I just don't do it. It is not my thing.

Q: What do you do to prepare for a shoot?
A: It’s simple yet complicated. For me, I don’t eat for about six to eight hours beforehand. However, I will have a high protein bar, and some fruit. Before, during and after, I always hydrate and carry a few bottles of water to every shoot. This is especially important when doing outdoor location shoots.
 

I make sure my bag is packed with all my and the photographer’s requirements. If I am traveling, I pack my suitcase the day before and check it at least three times before I leave. I also review products and brands with the photographer days before I pack.

I shave and manscape as to what the requirements are of the shoot. I go to the gym the day before or the night before. If not there is no time or facility, I do push ups, sit ups, leg raises and lunges.
 

I make sure to never wear tight clothing before a shoot as to not leave indentations in my skin.
 

I always arrive at least 15 to 20 minutes beforehand.

Q: Where was your favorite shoot location?

A: I have been photographed in every major city in Florida. I have also been to Detroit and Atlanta, so far. I can't say I liked one or two in particular because I have enjoyed them all while working with each photographer! 

Q: Where do you stay when you are out of town?

A: I have stayed in guest rooms of photographers. Though my hosts have always been great, it can be a little awkward when staying in someone else's home. 

Most of the time it's hotels/motels. Staying in hotels/motels can be interesting. I have had beautiful accommodations. Other times, some have been kind of seedy - really seedy. In those cases and luckily, I am only there for the night and off to a morning shoot and then, home. 

When traveling in South Florida, I am always fortunate enough to be accompanied by my dearest friend. We always make our travels and stays a great adventure.

Q: Do you have any hobbies?

A: I love being outside. I hike, kayak, and I even have a Eboat. Though I live in Central Florida, I love going to the beach which is about an hour away from me. 

When I am out and about, I love documenting my day with pictures and videos. I attend outdoor festivals whenever I can.

I am an avid collector of baseball cards. I read a lot whether online or print.

Theme parks are a must. I enjoy living an hour to an hour and a half from every major park in Central Florida. Halloween Horror Nights at Universal - Orlando is one of my favorite events to attend. I love Harry Potter at Universal Studios - Orlando, as well! I have been to Sea World in Orlando many times, and Bush Gardens in Tampa is also fun. If a park has a roller coaster, I have probably been there at least three times!

Q: I know you are a model but do you own a camera?

A: I just purchased a refurbished Cannon. I haven't used it yet but very soon!

Q: Do you live alone or do you share your home with a roommate?

A: I share my apartment with a roommate and a great friend for many years. I also have Rosie, a Pit Bull Terrier. When I am home, she never leaves my side!

Q: Being a model, do you date a lot?

A: One would think but no. It is very difficult to work a regular job and travel for shoots and meet stable people who can deal with a model's career. Many times, they have way too many connotations of what a model's life is. They are attracted to the images they see. When we actually meet they quickly realize that I am just a person.
