Hobbies, Interests & Activities:
I am an accomplished horseman, who lead the North Carolina Quarter Horse Association in Novice Youth Western Pleasure
Division as a youth. I am a full-time male model, who dreams of making it as an actor, later starting a non-profit organization
benefiting troubled teens. Helping troubled teens is extrememly important to me. My interests include working out,
swimming, horseback riding, acting, enjoying the small things of life, such as a beautiful day with friends and family,
and of course my passion, modeling. I am very involved with various activities. I travel and model in many different
markets on the East Coast and I am always participanting in different gatherings or activities, such as community groups,
and working events that benefit different organizations.
Awards, Honors, Achievements:
I have worked in Asia as a male model. I was a Top 5 Finalist out of 500 contestants in a modeling competition in Orlando,
FL called Fashion Rock. I am a very goal-oriented person, and always working to achieve various goals and dreams I set for myself.
Educational Background:
I am a High School Graduate, and plan on getting my degree in pyschology when my modeling career slows down.
List community, school, work involvement, and leadership qualities:
Being a full-time male model is a job most people wouldn't think is a hard job, but it is. It is a twenty-four
hour job, because you have to maintain a healthy diet, work out, and keep your appearance at tip top shape so
you will book assignments. Also, since I work many markets on the East Coast, I have to travel constantly,
so time management is extremely important, ensuring I will be well-rested for assignments. During slow seasons
of my modeling career, I manage Street Team Promotions in various cities and Mobile Tours which travel to diffent
cities, promoting the clients' brand. I have managed up to one hundred people at one time, which as you can imagine
was quite a workload. Also, I am involved in many acting classes, where I am trying to be the best actor possible.
Overall, I always have a lot on my plate and I stay very busy, but I love every second of it.
Three things you value most in life:
The three things I value most in life is God, my family and close friends, especially my mother Tina who is
the "wind beneath my wings" and my best friend, and lastly my drive in all I do.
Words to describe your personality & character:
Driven, Inspirational, Charismatic, Warm, Loving, Funny, Self Confident, Independent, and Passionate
Why are you entering the competition?
There are many reasons I am entering the competition. I want to further my modeling and Aacting career, and
obviously this would give me a "large jump" in my career. However, most importantly I am entering the competition
to accomplish my goal of working with troubled teens and hopefully benifiting them. This is SO important to me,
and I feel it is my calling in life. I feel by winning the crown I will be able to bring positivity into the
life of many people I work with during my reign and after. I am certain that I would make an amazing Mister USA,
making the organization and my country proud.
Describe your life ambition:
There are not enough words to describe my ambition in life. I am an extrememly driven person.
When I have my eye on a goal, I work, no matter how hard until I achieve it. I don't just talk about my
dreams, I don't stop until I make my dreams come true. I feel this is the type of person you have to be
to become Mister USA and I most definetly fit the bill.
