I am here to leave my immortal mark on the world, with a dream to change it for the better and spark a new era of immortal progress that will improve the shape of things to come, not only for my native country, but the entire planet Earth.

I'm a UNC-Asheville alumnus, currently a graduate student enrolled in the Master in Liberal Arts program, and (now) a model... but I'm available for anyone living near me who needs a male model to shoot. I was originally born in Tennessee, but moved to North Carolina during my mid-teens.

I love to watch, collect, study, discuss and even write (as a hobby so far), movies (particularly science-fiction, fantasy, horror, epic and suspense), poetry (both reading and writing), photography (both viewing and shooting), acting (for both theater and film) and other arts, reading, weather, space, aircraft, world mythology, self-defense techniques (including martial arts), swords (collecting and practicing fighting), and several other interests. Also love to exercise regularly, whether it's long walks during day or night, gym workouts or dancing - just wish I had someone to walk or dance with at clubs.

I hope that my work as a model, along with my current acting credits for stage and student video productions, will land me work in modeling and acting for cinema/television, in particular cinema since I'm a bona fide cinephile.

As I stated before, I hope to leave my mark on this world, while changing it for the better. I dream of starting a "Postmodern Renaissance" of arts, sciences and improved politics that will cast aside the problems we face today, and usher in a new era of immortal progress. To do this, all scientists, artists and politicians must throw aside their differences and collaborate on forming a system that answers every unsolved question, provides a solution for every problem, and ends all previously ignited conflicts so as to provide the world with a sustainable supply of resources and unbiased logic.

Spread the word to all your contacts, from here to MySpace, Facebook and other online networks. Anyone who shares the same dream as I... FEEL FREE TO JOIN ME IN MY QUEST TO START AND SPREAD THE POSTMODERN RENAISSANCE NOW!

I find modeling and cinema to be particularly fascinating because they are, in fact, the continuation of a tradition - the tradition of storytelling through captured images. Long before the camera had been invented, long before works like The Birth of Venus or Mona Lisa, ancient tribes and civilizations had learned how to preserve, and make legends of, their own lives through the art of illustration of humans captured in movement. Whenever we look at a film, a comic book, a television series, or even in this case, a image of a model in a magazine or online, we are repeating the art of hieroglyphics, murals, mosaics, bas reliefs and other artistic achievements used to capture history and legend, and the individuals who participated in creating both. Through our contributions as models, photographers, stylists and other related artists, we and our achievements will NEVER be forgotten.

Contact me either by cell phone # or email address, and notify me of any modeling shoots or film productions taking place near me within Asheville, NC. I'm confident that I'll move beyond this city within the near future, but I'll work within these borders for now.

Naturally, for each shoot or other project I will need to know the date, time, location, items used, etc. so I know what to expect and come prepared in time. If I DO travel in the near future, I will need to have my travel expenses paid by whoever hires me for the shoots. Any compensation for a modeling gig (paid either by me or the photographer at a reasonable rate, TFCDs, etc.) will do, until I have reached the point where modeling has become a profession and therefore can only do paid gigs.

I'm a quiet, soft, fun-loving, hairy, witty, creative, physically average, committed, artistically motivated, philosophically-enticed, enthusiastic person. I'm willing to change certain features for certain projects (including my hair - whether it has to be red, white, blond or another color, I'm more than willing to have it dyed), who takes my work VERY seriously, is willing to contribute with ideas of my own and not willing to let pride, egotism or other distractions get in the way of my work. I'll even strip down and pose nude without hesitation (pure Hellenistic ideal). 

The only things I object to are tattoos or piercings, and I also don't smoke, so if anybody needs a model who has tattoos and piercings and/or who smokes, you might want to look somewhere else. And I DO have a chest scar from a previous surgery to have my ribs cracked, and it's fairly visible. But aside from these restrictions I have NO inhibitions whatsoever and can pretty much fit into anything.

Anyone who stumbles across my profile... feel free to add me!
Take your time in viewing my photos before you leave a comment, and don't take me to be one of those people who wants to hear a comment or message from you before I add you. If anything, I'll probably send you a message/comment or you'll send me a message/comment only after we both add each other as friends.
