Where are you from?
Born and raised on Long Island!
Tell us about yourself. Why do you want to work as a model? What got you interested in this career?
I had always been interested in modeling/acting, but never really looked into what was needed to pursue this. I enjoy the artistic aspect of this field, and being able to represent brands that you really like is an exciting thought. After college, I realized you really can pursue whatever you want, and no one can stop you unless you let them. So I began going to open calls in NYC, got rejected multiple times until I didn't. In 2020 I signed to my first agency, right before Covid hit
Whats your educational background?
I went to SUNY Maritime, where I got my BS Degree in Marine Transportation and my USCG 3rd Officers License. After school I sailed on ships around the world as a Third Officer. I did this for about 2 years. On my off time, when I was back home, that's when I was looking for an agency. Now I work from home in the maritime industry, model, and own a Muay Thai gym
What is one thing you wish you knew when you were younger?
I wish I knew to invest in bitcoin (kidding kidding!) ... I wish I could tell my younger self to worry less about the future. I always used to worry about what I wanted to do for work/etc. I'd tell him that you will find your passions when the time is right!
What quote do you live by?
I always pick a new quote to live by each year. 2026's mantra is:
"The secret to happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but developing the capacity to enjoy less."
