In his own words, success for him would be graduating from college and getting a job as a bioengineer or doctor. And what about the modeling career? Well, my dear World of Models family, I invite you to join Benjamin´s world, ater all, he rocks!!!!!

Thanks for inviting me along for the ride! Now that my shoes are off, let me tell you a little about myself.
I moved around a lot as a young boy. Long story short, I was born in Virginia, spent most of my youth in Washington state, and then graduated high school in Minnesota.When I was 18, I decided that I needed to flee the coup, if I may. Traveling south like a rocket, I drove to Fort Lauderdale, Florida where I spent a year and a half having a time of my life and realizing the kind of person that I was.I moved to LA when I was 19, and then about six months later, a few miles down to the OC. I have been in Newport Beach ever since and I currently enjoy a variety of interests.

Skating is my all time favorite past time! I am seriously addicted. When I’m not skating or working two jobs, I am huddled way in local coffee shops and libraries trying to be successful in school. My ultimate goal is to become a doctor. So, I’m working towards a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering: Premedical in hopes to allow many positive options to appear. Healing humans while bridging the gap between engineering and medicine is a personal vision that keeps my focus alive! I I love music, great people, and laughing. Over all I’m just a normal 22 year old guy!

I was first discovered by Caryns International modeling agency in Minneapolis. I did a few random commercials and some various print ads in my youth. I didn’t start getting into modeling again until I was 18. I do a lot of work with the famous photographer, Tom Cullis. Thankfully, he has been the main influence in my modeling career thus far. Modeling is fun and the entertainment industry is interesting as well. The reason that I model is to be a good example of health and fitness. I believe very strongly in a healthy mind/body/and soul. Everyone has it in them to be amazingly beautiful in many different ways! Modeling is my way of sharing powerful images through intensity and subjectivity.

40 degrees outside

When I’m working with a photographer, I like when they are organized and professional. Everything runs smoothly when you are amongst pro’s, and I can appreciate anyone who has a creative or unique style.I prepare by tanning, shaving, trimming, working out, dieting, sleeping, and communicating.A funny moment recently was when I was shooting with Ken Surge for this months issue of Exercise for Men Only. We were at the wedge in Corona Del Mar and it must have been 40 degrees outside with a bitter pacific wind. I was wearing hot red shorts and my epidermis was exposed to the ice cold and sand-filled wind. I was just thinking to myself “be sexy”. But it was difficult due to the conditions

Catwalks, the fashionista and handling with the fame

TIMOTEO is by far my favorite designer! I ONLY wear his underwear. I have like 20 pairs that I rotate! When Tim had his fashion show in LA at the Mayan, I was walking directly behind Matus Valant, and I felt like I was a speck in his shadow. That guy is so amazingly ripped, it’s unreal! I LOVE clothes! I wear a lot of plain V-necks. Deep V with neon, plain, or pastel colors are what rocks! I love skinny jeans and gravis shoes. I dress so that if I ever decide to skate, I’m always dressed for the occasion.

Concerning being a famous model in a situation that I´d have to deal with a huge crowd honestly, I would be shocked if that happened. I’d say “It’s not me I swear”. And then run away with a red face. Lol. But seriously, I love everyone and the more friends the better!

Show business is great. But I don’t think its for me. Success for me would be graduating from college and getting a job as a bioengineer or doctor.

Benjamin by himself

Human Rights: Are you asking for my political standing? I would gladly give the middle finger to anyone holding a “Yes ON 8” sign. (and I’ve done that many times). My favorite kind of foreign policy, is NO FOREIGN POLICY. We need to focus on building our country and reinventing ourselves
Dating X Love: Love is always welcome in my life, but I think you have to love yourself before you can love others.
Sports: If its not skateboarding, longboard skateboarding, or snowboarding… its weird and over advertised. I’ll pass on the sorts bar everytime
His way to atract someone´s attention: Eye contact and humor are my main ways of engaging in conversation.
Having fun, places he goes enjoying the best of life: I have fun being social around the OC/LA. Corona Del Mar is my favorite of course
Fav body part: My favorite body part is my brain! With out that, I wouldn’t want to live. Aesthetically, I like my arms and stomach.
Fav singer and which music he hears in his IPOD: My favorite type of music is hardcore/screamo/metal. I want everyone to take a second and listen past the screams and let the driving breakdowns and catch hooks release your soul from your body! If you have no Idea what I'm talking about then just smile and nod, for the rest of you, here are some of my favorite bands. The subtle way, We Came As Romans, Vanna, LoveHateHero, In Fear And Faith, and The Devil Wears Prada.
