How did you first get into modeling?

I was working as a personal trainer back in New York and was scouted to model. I was sent to Rick Day and started working after.

Is modeling your main gig at the moment, or do you have any other endeavors that you’re going for?

Modeling and transitioning into acting and have plans to get into fashion.

Besides BodyAware, What is your dream modeling gig?

Maybe Calvin Klein...just because it’s so iconic.

What interests you most about modeling?

I love seeing myself grow as a model. Every shoot I learn something new and my work brings me all over the world. I think I’ve grown as a person, learned about myself and how to pose for different moods and genres.

What and/or who inspires you most as a model?

Fashion posing definitely inspires me. Bo Derek, Bruce Weber, young Kate Moss have influenced me. I love how Bruce puts a boy in nature, gives him a dog and makes everything look natural and relaxed.

Do you think there is a stigma against men wearing "skimpy" underwear? If so, why do you think the stigma is there?

I think there is a stigma with nudity definitely, I’m not sure about underwear. Possibly certain styles and colors could imply a man’s sexuality. The two really have nothing to do with each other.

How do you prepare for a photoshoot?

Shave, trim, style hair - even if they change it later.

Do you manscape?   

Sometimes. It all depends on what the job is and what they tell me to do.

How many times a week do you work out and what’s your favorite routine?

7-8 times a week. I start with cardio then hit the weights.

What is your favorite style of underwear?  

I like brief or bikini.

What do you like about BodyAware?

I liked the MicroModal options ... soft, stretchy and comfortable.

What’s your favorite pair of BodyAware underwear?

I liked the stretchy trunks.

What is your idea of a perfect date?

A spontaneous & impulsive marriage.

If you were stranded on a deserted island, who would you be stranded with and with what three items?

My mom! Sunscreen, sweat pants, and a camera. 

The moment where you felt the proudest?  

Moving to New York City & moving to Los Angeles. I felt like “yes, I did this, I’m living in cities people wish they could visit.”
