Being part of the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency has changed my life in several ways. The show has been a learning experience as well as a growing experience. Since coming out to my mother just several months before the show, to now proclaiming my identity to now the world, this in itself is a huge step, that carries enormous vulnerability, and responsibility. The show has given Shaun and myself a platform I feel to do good, and represent a minority that needs a voice every now and then. Not to take a reality show too seriously but I feel a bigger purpose and power guiding us through each step of our lives, whether those steps be modeling, acting, or just setting forth new directions for those looking up to us, I feel a humbling and honoring respect for all the opportunities I’ve been given through this agency.

I do get recognized, but seriously, it comes with the territory. This is an industry after all that looks at you.

Well…as far as I know my hometown is unaware about any “status change.” to them I’m sure that I’m still that boy, who was once good in track, and liked the acting stage, but when they do catch wind of what’s really going on (because eventually it will hit rural North Dakota) I’m not sure what its true authentic response will be. I just hope that minds are opened and hearts are softened. Most individuals there know about my prior modeling past, but the gay thing is a whole new topic (not like they didn’t already know, I mean seriously) but I’m sure it will ruffle a few feathers here and there, but I feel like that is what I’m here to do, open the box on the reality of life and those affected by it, and give it power. My family is very supportive of the modeling yet cautious about the gay aspect. I understand because my family sees the bigotry and hate in the world, and they do not want me getting hurt. To quote India Arie “I don’t know what is going to happen, that’s all right with me, I open up my arms, and I embrace the mystery.” My life has changed and is still changing, but I accept and welcome the direction of change, because it will only make me stronger and wiser for me.

Nothing I used it to help pay off credit cards… yes I’m trying to be responsible!

Love me some Naomi, her presence is so demanding you can’t help but stare in awe, she knows how to W.O.R.K!

Any designer/photographer that pushes the envelope is hot in my eyes, I like doing the same in my fashion choices so those that follow that pattern I’m watching you.

Ok… some think it’s all to do with “genes” and ,”you’re so lucky” yada yada yada, listen let me tell ya something, it’s a lot of freakin hard work, but if done right its all worth it. I basically work out a couple hours a day at least 4 days weekly. A mix of heavy lifting with light, and quality cardio keeps things right. My diet is a balanced one, making sure to get plenty of fiber and quality carbs, and a good amount of protein daily.

My gays will know this but straights, sorry, look it up. Jimmy James Fashionista.

Well since I had to look up how to spell Fashionista that is what is playing now!!! AND STRUT!

Having the utmost confidence in one’s self, that is sexy to me!
