8. Q) HOW DID YOU GET INTO MODELING? AND HOW DID YOU WIND UP AT MAJOR?
A) My mom always encouraged me to look into it. Towards the end of my enlistment in the Navy I went to a "Model Search" and went through the process. Such a long, long process to arrive at Major. Thankfully Jason was willing to take a chance on a guy that's a bit to big for traditional modeling.
9. Q) WHAT HAS BEEN THE BEST SHOOT YOU HAVE DONE TO DATE
A) Best?? That's a difficult question. It was great staying in a little hunting cabin in Scotland for Gant!

Since then I've been had several great shoots with some great photographers.
