Modeling...well, I NEVER set out to be a model. "Looking good", "being cute", always seemed like too much work for me as a guy growing up. It seemed as though you had to have the best clothes and shoes, no pimples or jagged teeth, great hair, a little jewelry...things that I just did not care to pursue (heck--I just wanted to play football-I didn't have to worry about looking rough!). So I never saw myself as something that others would want to "model" themselves after, nor did I feel as though I was (or would ever be) the "model" of what men should look like or would ever aspire to look like. In 2004, I was approached by a so-called "model scout". I ignored the high praise. But I did begin to wonder if I actually could be a model. I began to do a little research and decided to see if I possibly had what it took to grow in the modeling world. I think what attracted me to modeling the most was the amount of discipline that I discovered it would take to perfect (if that's even possible)  my face, skin, and body. Being an aspiring model contributed to my developing an extreme level of discipline which resulted in a healthy overall body that I am very proud of. As for the industry itself, I am very excited about it and will continue to learn more about being photogenic, camera savvy, and learn more tricks to propel me into a few major modeling opportunities in the future.        ( Gotta watch a lot of  "Top Model"  now ;0)
