" Nick, this is Calvin" having no clue about the fashion industry at the time. I shook his hand and walked away. Then it clicked in and I asked the judge "WAIT A SEC who was that??", he looks over and says "Calvin Klein". I pull up my underwear band and point "this Calvin Klein?" I was Born in Burlington Ontario Canada, at the age of 4 I wanted to be ninja turtle so I started Karate, by 8 I was a Regional Champion, By 12 a National Champion and by 17 a World Champion. Some of my personal interests are Photography,Acting and wake-boarding. The modeling career? I didn't really decide kind of just happened. I was in Miami competing on ESPN International for a Weapons Contest of the 10 best competitors from across the world (all world Champions), Model Universe was happening at the same venue. Without me know my friend signed me up, I didn't want to do it at first, but was talked into it. I ended up getting 5th out of over 100 models on ESPN international for Model Universe Contest. After the contest one of the judges walks me up to a man and introduces me and says "Nick this is Calvin" having no clue about the fashion industry at the time I shook his hand and walked away. Then it clicked in and I asked the judge "WAIT A SEC who was that??", he looks over and says "Calvin Klein". I pull up my underwear band and point "this Calvin Klein?". He looks at me laughs and says "YES" . So after talking with Calvin Klein and Others I was sent to Elmer Olsen Models where I began modeling
Working with the photographers and the catwalks When working with a photographer I like when the laid back, someone who can throw on music and have fun but work hard to get the shot at the same time, no real preparation maybe couple push-ups if its a body shot. I've walked for Versace, Energie, Parasuco, Dsquared, Calvin Klein, Roberto Cavalli, and tons more. Dean and Dan of Dsquared where def a good memory, such nice guys and a pleasure to work with! Nick by himself Show Business, Fame and Success: It´s definitelly something I like to achieve through my Martial Arts and Weapons by staring in major Motion Pictures. Fame and Success for me is being Noticed for my passions and being the best at it.
The Projects Well My Abercrombie & Fitch Campaign just came out, So on that note I'll be doing a bit of traveling to try different fashion Main motto: "Everything Happens for a Reason" |
