Jussi Harjunharja

Hey there, my name's Jussi Harjunharja; I'm first generation Finnish (hence the name), and moved to Toronto four years ago from my parents' house in the small town of Kingsville (about 45 minutes south of Windsor). I was with Sutherland Models' new faces division from 2007-2008, after completing their male modeling course. However, most of that period ended up going to waste since I was suddenly forced to put my modeling on hold while I received chemotherapy during the summer of 2007 and a dual surgery that fall. Over the last two and a half years, while in school for fashion business, I modeled part-time through Orange Model Management and by freelancing. I've grown a passion for modeling and now take it very seriously. I've used this site to build my portfolio and gain experience and I hope to soon take my modeling to the next level. If you would like to contact me you can reach me by email at jussiwas@hotmail.com or by phone at (647)212-7139.
