I feel blessed to live in the land of the free. I´m a simple country boy. All I need is freedom and a place where you can still see the stars at night

I'm origninally from a town in Oklahoma; but, I currently live in Connecticut, for school. I will be going into my Senior year, at the Hartt School, at the University of Hartford, where, I am a Musical Theatre Major. I grew up wrestling and playing other sports; but, my true passion is in the outdoors. My parents met as wilderness instructors at a sports camp, so , I was raised camping, canoeing, mountain climbing, and pretty much any other outdoor activity you can imagine. I love life and consider my relationships with my friends and family my first priority. My dream is to become a successful actor and own my production company.

The Modeling career: they needed real wrestlers!

I started by answering a casting call, on Actors Access for an Asics Wrestling Ad. I was just looking for ways to make money in school; and the 500 hundred dollar stipened pay, peaked the interest of my starving actor mind. They said, " They needed real wrestlers, " and I showed up in my highschool wrestling singlet, ready for action. Long story short, I booked the job. Then Brad Cheatwood, a friend of mine, from Oklahoma, volunteered to take some headshots for my upcoming summer stock auditions. We were hanging out by the lake,
not really trying all that hard to get a good shot, when, he suggested we make a whole portfolio. I agreed, hopped in the lake, in my underwear, and it was those pictures, a week later, that booked me with my agent Nigel Pembroke - Sloan. Those photos are still in my current portfolio.

I'm still a new face with little expierence. I shot with Bruce Weber, for Hollister, last Spring. I've never done a catwalk. I'll probably be working more, once I graduate. For now, I'm pretty involved with college.

Working with photographers, backstages, fashionista and the fans

What I like most when working with a photographer is the free lunch that’s usually provided. And if I told you my preperations and backstage stories… I’d have to kill you. I wear a t shirt jeans and cowboy boots everyday. For auditions and castings I substitute the t shirt for a Polo I´m not a fashionista I don’t think I even know what a fashionista is.

Concerning the fans, I feel flattered of course. Admiration is always a compliment. I´m a Fan of Fans I suppose; but, I can’t comprehend why, anyone takes pleasure, in prying into someones personal life. I'm a private person, and I intend to separate my professional life, from my personal life.

Human Rights: I feel blessed to live in the land of the free. I´m a simple country boy. All I need is freedom and a place where you can still see the stars at night
Dating X Love: Selective and Aggressive
Sports: Rough, I like getting banged up and bangin up people
His way to attract someones attention: Plan A: Introduce myself, and rely on my Southwestern charm. … Plan B: Take
off my shirt
Having fun, the places he goes: I preffer the coast or the mountains, anywhere I can participate in extreme sports. I like to rock climb, snow ski, spelunking, Canoe, Kayak, scuba diving really anything water related. I grew up swimming in ponds and creeks and riding dirtbikes. As for my favorite places, well I´ve travelled all over the world from Africa to Costa Rica. I like a change of scene, but I don’t need much to enjoy life. Where I come from shooting beer cans with a shot gun can be a very satisfying afternoon.
The craziest (nastiest?) thing he´s ever done in a summer time season: When I was a teenager I rode my dirtbike through my Jr Highschool while the janitors where setting up for enrollment the day before school started, they chased me around, but I had friend waiting at an emergency exit to assist my getaway. We never got caught. That may not be the craziest thing I ever did over the summer but its all I´m willing to reveal, my mom could be reading this.
An unforgettable moment: At 17 I picked up and left home with a weeks notice to attend Idyllwild Arts Academy for acting in California.

The Projects

I’m Danny in Grease at the Jackson Hole Playhouse in Jackson, WY. I will be working with Hartford Stage doing Christmas Carol in the winter and as far as future modeling gigs I got nothing set up quite yet. I graduate in the Spring and with the assistance of my agent, Nigel Pembroke - Sloan @ MINT Mgmt. - NYC, and I will be hitting it hard, when my time frees up. Also my family is currently founding a
Government funded Arts academy for highschool students in Oklahoma. It was just approved by Congress So, I’m hoping
to help that project get up on its feet.

Main motto: “Life aint nothing but a funny funny riddle. Thank God im a country boy” John Denver
