AGE? I am 22 years old.
HOMETOWN? I grew up in Montclair, New Jersey.
ARE YOU IN SCHOOL? I’m a senior at Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business studying marketing and finance.
HOW DID YOU GET INTO MODELING? Funny enough, I got into modeling through my dad. As any parent would, my dad showed pictures of his kids to a friend, who happened to be an agent with The Rebellion. From there, my dad was asked if I modeled, to which he of course responded with no. It wasn’t long after that conversation I was meeting with agents from The Rebellion and Zombie Model Management and eventually signed.
FIRST MODELING JOB? I have some projects in the works, but I’m optimistic I will confirm one soon!
FAVORITE PART OF BEING A MODEL? My favorite part about being a model is getting to meet so many amazing creatives that have mastered a particular skill and are now executing at some of the highest levels in their industry.
WORSE PART OF BEING A MODEL? The most challenging part about being a model, while also being a student, is not knowing when you’ll be getting a 24-hour notice about a casting that can completely shift the day you have planned, but we make it work.
HAVE YOU WALKED RUNWAY OR DO YOU ASPIRE TO WALK RUNWAY? Walking on a runway is definitely something I aspire to do in the future.
FAVORITE PHOTOGRAPHER? I really like Jack Bridgland’s style and creativity. Also, I do have to say, all of the photographers I’ve worked with have been added to my list of favorites, and I expect that trend to continue as I meet more photographers who have their own unique styles. This shoot in particular was a favorite of mine and Alexander Thompson’s focus on the ’50s really caught my eye.
FAVORITE MODEL? While I do not necessarily have a favorite model, at The Rebellion’s office in NYC, I met a very nice model and actor, Giuseppe Futia, who has become one of my favorite models to look at for inspiration in my own modeling.
FAVORITE DESIGNER/LABEL? I really like Mike Amiri, and what Amiri has been putting out recently.
DREAM CAMPAIGN? Some dream campaigns would include Polo Ralph Lauren, Hugo Boss, Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, Amiri, and Hermes.
DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE/LOOK? My look could be described as a classic All-American man.
FAVORITE MUSICIAN/BAND? Juice WRLD is my favorite musician. I started listening to him in high school and his music has really stuck with me over the years. LLJW.
FAVORITE SONG OF THE MOMENT? “Guitar In My Room” by Lil Durk and Kid Cudi from the Lyrical Lemonade Album has been in heavy rotation recently.
INTERESTS BESIDES MODELING? I’m very interested in crypto and the web3 ecosystem, which stems from my interest in investing. I started trading stocks nine years ago and shifted towards crypto in 2020; it’s been my obsession outside of modeling and school since learning about the technology.
GF? BF? I am currently on the market.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOU? Next for me is finishing up my semester, and then seeing what opportunities summer brings.
