AGE? I am 24 years old.
HOMETOWN? I grew up on Long Island, so I’ve been close to the city my whole life.
ARE YOU IN SCHOOL? Yes. I’m in the last semester of my criminal justice degree.
HOW DID YOU GET INTO MODELING? I got into modeling through my girlfriend. She’s a model as well and convinced me to take digitals and apply to agencies.
FIRST MODELING JOB? My first modeling job was an Afro Dandy runway show! It was right before the MET of 2025 that had the same theme.
FAVORITE PART OF BEING A MODEL? Being able to bring a creator’s idea to life. Knowing that their vision is fulfilled and I can be a part of that process is a great feeling.
WORSE PART OF BEING A MODEL? Haircuts! I always ask my agency before getting one, and have to pray the stylist gets it right.
HAVE YOU WALKED RUNWAY OR DO YOU ASPIRE TO WALK RUNWAY? Yes. Besides the Afro Dandy show I mentioned, I’ve walked runways before. Only a small part of the runway show is the final walk everyone sees. Behind the scenes, you get to interact with so many amazing people who make the whole show possible.
FAVORITE PHOTOGRAPHER? One of my favorite photographers is Ansel Adams. His landscape photography is surreal and has inspired me to try photography myself.
FAVORITE MODEL? My favorite model is Leon Dame. He can take clothing and turn it into an experience, which is something I strive towards.
FAVORITE DESIGNER/LABEL? A favorite brand of mine is Levi’s. A classic pair of jeans can be styled to go with anything and everything.
DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE/LOOK? If I had to describe my personal style, I would say it is closest to relaxed streetwear.
FAVORITE MUSICIAN/BAND? For music, I love ’80s rock, so some of my favorites are Guns N’ Roses and Van Halen.
INTERESTS BESIDES MODELING? I enjoy everything related to nature. Hiking, swimming, animals, and anything else you can really think of. Outside is my favorite place lol.
SINGLE? I’m in a long-term relationship with my girlfriend Jaisen. She and I have been together for over 3 years, and I know that I would never be where I am now without her.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOU? Next for me is to finish my degree and continue modeling. It’s something that I love doing and don’t see myself stopping anytime soon!
