How I Became A Male Model In New York City

If you told me 10 years ago that I would eventually become a male model living in New York City, I would’ve sent you to the crazy house.

Many folks ask me how I started as a model. And despite how often I get asked this question, it’s a totally fair one. I never aspired to become a model. And no, I did not come to New York with the intention of launching a modeling career. I suppose it was a rare combination of fate, timing, and being open to new opportunities.
