BIO

I am a former College varsity water polo player and swimmer at Santa Clara University who is still active in competitive amateur sports. Began modelling in the Bay Area recently after being approached by numerous people at wine bar lounges asking me if I was a male model or if I would be interested in a career as one. My background is Norwegian, Scottish, and Polish and I have a BA in European History and Finance. My best asset is my ability to have very versatile and distinctive looks from high fashion, sports, print editorial to business casual. I also speak a little German. Born and raised in the South Bay. Other extracurricular activities include the stock market club, math club, and community service.

My modeling career really began when I wore a dark navy blue shirt that was similar to the one that actor Michael Fassbender wore for his GQ Man of the Year 2011 layout. One of my co-workers, entertainment journalist and budding jewelry designer Jackie Morrison, said to me "You are Fassy 2!". She wouldn't let up. One day she told to me that she had been seeing dollar signs in her mind ever since that day she saw me in that blue shirt. Jackie took a picture of me with her cell phone and emailed it to a few photographers in the Bay Area. Within three hours they all began calling back offering free test shoots. Jackie submitted my profile to model for San Francisco Fashion Week 2012 and I got an audition just two hours after she sent in my pictures! Please stay tuned for more news on how my career is evolving. Jackie says to be ready for the ride of my life. If I could work with any model right now it would be Valerie Wiegmann: https://www.facebook.com/ValerieWeigmann
