1. How did you get into modeling?

A friend of mine introduced me to bodybuilding and then to modeling.

2. What are you doing if you are not modeling?

Always working hard to better myself, whether that means spiritually, mentally, financially, physically or all of the above. I’m constantly striving to be the best version of myself and trying to enjoy myself along the way.

3. The most spontaneous/difficult/strange thing you’ve ever done?

My brother and I packed up to do a road-trip around the country. Flew into Florida and drove southwest until we got to California. Headed up north to the Redwoods and back to Cleveland. Along the way we rescued a black labrador retriever who was abandoned in the middle of a highway in Texas. My Fiancé and I still have him today. He’s the best.

4. What’s your life motto?

I suppose I have a few;

“The grass is greenest where you water it.”

“It’s not the hand dealt; rather how it is dealt with.”

And my grandfather’s favorite:

“God helps those who help themselves.”

5. Describe your personal style – Favorite Brands/Fragrance?!

I usually rock neutral colors. Black V-neck T-shirts and jeans is kind of my go to casual fit. I try to dress it up a bit more for work. Fitted collard shirts, khakis, with a nice belt and dress shoes. And for the gym I just throw on whatever I see first. Usually a stringer or beater and shorts or joggers depending on the time of year.

6. What genre of music best describes you?

I listen to all sorts of music. I used to hate country, but it’s slowly grown on me thanks to my Fiancé. She plays it enough that I’ve learned to like it. Normally my go to is classic rock. I’m a fan of the oldies. But I usually like to workout to EDM or alternative. Rap every now and again.

7. Where are your roots – The best thing about/to do in your hometown?

Cleveland, Ohio is my roots. But I really feel it’s more the people around you that make up a “home” not the place. Love to explore nature with my Fiancé, our dog and close friends and family. That’s when I’m most at peace.

8. Name one celebrity you’d like to get naughty with!

At risk of sounding sappy, I truly do only have eyes for my beautiful bride to be.

9. Do you have any special Talents?

I can do an excessive amount of pull-ups. I also can rap “Where Is The Love?” by Black Eyed Peas like it’s nobodies business.. You should see me at Karaoke night!

10. What is the most interesting thing online at the moment?

I’ve honestly been spending much less time online lately. And it’s been amazing. More time to focus on what truly matters. Family, friends, and loved ones.
