How long have you been modeling?  I have been modeling for about two years now.

Describe your worst photo shoot. I honestly have not had a bad photo shoot. I am such an outgoing and friendly person and I make every experience a good one no matter what.

Describe your best photo shoot. The best photo shoot was downtown Chicago with KC and the Sexy Santa shoot! We had so much fun!

What body part of yours attracts the most attention? Definitely my eyes 

What would you like people to be attracted to?  I have no problem with people being attracted to my eyes they are the window to my soul.

What do you consider a great night on the town?  A great night on the town for me would be one of those hot summer nights in downtown, a night where I am looking good feeling great stress free... and can just enjoy myself to do whatever it is I want...

Sleep or sex?  Um sex and then sleep. How about that? [lol]

Tell us a funny, but dirty joke. 
Q. What did the penis say to the condom?
A. Cover me I am going in!
[lol] that is the best I could do [lmao]

The person I would most like to meet is. Prince Royce

Can you cook? If so, what’s your signature dish?  Yes I can! I am actually a great cook; I can make a four course meal. My signature dish is Rice, Beans and steak!

What were you doing five minutes before this interview? I was on FaceBook.

What is the most important issue in the world today and why? Um, I would probably say teen pregnancy... because so many people are having children young...I’m not saying it’s a bad thing but use protection [lol] live life a little (ok A LOT) have fun and then settle down. Have a story to tell your children.

How old were you when you had your first kiss and paint us the picture? Ok I was 11 years old and at a pool party at Smith Park with my family and my mom’s friend had a son about my age. Well, he liked me and decided to kiss me [lol] wow talk about crazy because I had no clue that was coming. My life changed after that day [lol] and the lesson I learned was to always stay by my mother [ha-ha]

When did you know you could be a model? I always wanted to be a model. I think it hit me at my first photo shoot.

If someone wanted to buy you a drink, what would you order? Depends on how I am feeling I would probably order a cosmos or martini.
If you were president what would you change? Ha. I do not think the world could handle it if I were president [lol] a lot would change.


Doing this will put on my short list.  Um… nothing [lol]

Lights on or lights off?  LIGHTS ON ha-ha

What is the biggest misconception about you?   Hmm I do not know

Tell us something your parents don’t know about you.  My parents know me all too well for me to keep a secret. I tell them everything and anything, the good and bad.

What is the most creative thing a guy has said or done to approach you?  The most creative thing that someone has said to approach me was and I quote "Are your legs tired? Because you have been running through my mind all day!" LMAO It did not work.

If money was not an issue what would you be doing? If money was not an issue I would give to charity, travel the world, help the less fortunate and invest. I would do so much if it was not an issue...Wow if only if only lol

What’s your fetish? Sexy Abs! Major fetish! [lol]
