At what age did you start modeling?First signed with OTM (On Track Modeling) @ 18 then had to give it up to keep running division 1 track. Signed with Ford Chicago after I finished running at ISU @ 22.
Did you always want to be a model or it just happened?
Before signing with OTM, I never thought about being a model. Afterwards I started to believe more in myself and my ability to make something of modeling - with the help and support of my close friends and family.
What do you prefer, runway/editorials/campaigns?Campaigns for obvious reasons... the money![laughs] I love modeling but I can't pay my mortgage with photos unless someone is paying good money for them. I also like the intensity of runway and the creative flexibility of editorials
How would you describe your personal style?Whatever I pull out of my closet.
Zero 7 [band] ,internet radio station on Pandora. So far I can't stop listening to that genre of music. It's like a bad hook to a song that you just can't shake off.
What’s your typical weekend like?Funny question because my weekends aren't normally my days off. With my time off I hang out with my girlfriend soon to be my fiancée if she accepts :o]
So far in your opinion what has been the best moment[s] in your career?
