The guy from Nebraska: he is not a farmer!

Well I am originally from Omaha, Nebraska, USA. I grew up enjoying all sports and contrary to popular belief we are not all farmers in Nebraska. I have always enjoyed learning as well and actually played college basketball while receiving a degree in Biochemistry. Now a days, I am an active entrepreneur and own a few small businesses.Growing up in Nebraska I had been asked to model several times, but at the time I mainly believed I needed to be in a larger city such as NYC to be successful, so I always kindly turned down the request. Once in college I was introduced to an agency through a girl I was dating, but again kindly turned them down. It wasn't until about 6 months later, when I called the agency back and asked if they were still interested in representing me. The said they were and actually thought I moved or something since it took so long for me to get back with them

The first modeling shootings

My first test was definitely quite different then what I expected. For some crazy reason I always thought that the photographers had the ideal image in their mind and that as a model we would just show up and magically an amazing image would result. Needless to say the photos from my first test shoot lack emotion and connection. They lack creativity and movement. Nonetheless, it was a great experience to be behind the camera and even though at the time I thought the pictures were fantastic, I have since come to understand the collaboration between the creativity of the photographer coupled with the freedom of expression and confidence in ones self that is needed to truly create amazing photography

The best thing about modeling: traveling and the amazing people in this business

For me the best thing about modeling is largely two-fold. The first would be the travel and the experiences I have had from the wonderful opportunities I have been given. The second would be the amazing people I have had the great fortune of meeting and working with. Whether it be other models, photographers, agents, or other people within the modeling world. There are some truly wonderful people in this business

Working with photographers and backstages moments: "Yes... I really did shot a nude shower photo with hundreds of baby goats! In Miami of all places!

I enjoy the more creative editorial shoots. In these setting you really get to know the photographer and work with them in such a way that the art you are creating will have meaning for you. The great thing about creative editorial shoots is that you get to play a character. Depending upon the theme for the shoot I may be in an elegant Tuxedo and feel like James Bond, or it could be a shot where I am nude in an outdoor shower consisting of a garden hose and a tub and I am surrounded by hundreds of baby goats and need to imagine myself as just a country rancher cooling off after a hard day of work; even though there may be 10-15 people on set helping with the shot. It is great to be able to leave my day to day life behind for those moments and create an image that I hope others will enjoy. And yes..... I really did shot a nude shower photo with hundreds of baby goats! In Miami of all places!

Chad by himself

In the catwalks: To be completely honest I haven't walked on the catwalk in quite some time. I have walked a few times and of course there are always quirks that come up with the dressing assistants, but all and all it has been quite some time.
A fashionista?: For the last several years I have been working in a biology lab doing research on DNA during the day. So to say the least, I do not dress up often during the day. I am generally a jeans and T-shirt type. I am a fan of nice fitting clothing that is a bit different from others. I like when a designer does a little spin on the classics. Elie Tahari makes some great clothing as well as John Varvatos
Imagine you a famous model in the middle of a hugeeeeeee legion of fans. How you´d handle it?: With a smile! It would be flattering if that happened

Human Rights, Freedom of Speech, Wars and Sexual Behavior: These topics will always be around. Unfortunately people forget that we are all people. As a scientist when I study DNA it is the same four bases that comprise all living things, just in a different order. The common cotton wood tree has four times the DNA as we do. So it always feel disappointed when we do not live up to all potential. We should have tolerance and understanding and understand that we all need help sometimes and to remember none of us are perfect
Show biz, Fame, Success and 5 most important things for his life: Show business is just that.. a business. The glits and glam are not really my personal style. I enjoy imagining from time to time when I am on a big shoot what it would be like but at the end of the day I appreciate that I can walk down the street, go to a movie, or go grocery shopping without an invasion of my personal space. So to me fame and success is giving back. There are several people who have had great success in life and I bet if you asked all of them, they would say that giving back and establishing a legacy of helping others probably made them feel like they accomplished something of importance during their time
Five most important things? That's tough. I would say family, friends, my wonderful english bulldog Elsie. That´s three out of five, hopefully the last two are yet to come

Dating X Love: Love is about connecting with a person on a higher level. To have the best success both people need to know them selves well and have an understanding of their partner
Sports: Love them all! NBA basketball and college football are my favorites
His way to atract someone´s attention: The best policy in my opinion is to go right up an approach them. Engage them and be polite
Places he goes for fun and enjoying the best of life: I enjoy hanging with friend. Grabbing a beer and maybe playing some pool, or watching a game. Life is too short not to enjoy it
The craziest (nastiest?) thing he´s ever done in a summer time season: Usually I have great answers to questions like this but nothing comes to mind
Fav body part and why: Of mine? I think I have nice legs and a good butt! LOL On a woman? I love a women hips and the dip they have
Fav underwear for his daily activities and for those coooool sexy moments (lol!): Well, before modeling I was a boxer guy, but now I love Calvin Klien hip briefs
Fav singer and which music he listens in hisr IPOD: I am a bit of a nerd and actually have more books on tape on my Ipod than I do music. But if I had to pick one I would say Usher
Fav food: Summer time cooks outs with hamburgers and chicken are the best!
