What are some of your professional accomplishments? (modeling or otherwise) Placing 1st and earning my first IPL Pro title. As well as 1st in Bikini Mommas was definitely my great accomplishment.

Any cool modeling experiences to share? Modeling experiences are currently mostly with exotic custom cars of Creative Bespoke.

Where’s the coolest place you’ve traveled to for work? Did you get to party at all?

Tokyo in January 2020 for the Tokyo Auto Salon. There was not really any partying, because of the jet-lag. Tokyo, Japan is 16 hours ahead of Phoenix, AZ.

The most recent business related travel was for the GoldRushRally – Saints & Sinners Tour. The GoldRush rally is a 10-day luxury rally event in which luxury car owners drive together through ten high-profile cities (and all the smaller towns in between). In addition to driving together, participants are brought together at exclusive VIP parties and in luxury accommodations along the way.

Best things about Bikini Modeling? Worst things?

Best things are gorgeous photos, but the worst are that these events are time consuming.

Any advice for those looking to get into modeling?

Decide your niche, what kind of model you want to be, then find an agency and build your portfolio online.

I AM DEFINITELY WORKING HARD TO STAY IN SHAPE. DAILY WORKOUTS AND CLEAN EATING IS THE KEY TO IT.

What is the motto or mantra you try to live your life by?

It always seems impossible, until it’s done. You can do it.

What keeps you busy?

My two babies are definitely keeping me very busy, as well as taking care of the house and being a brand ambassador for Creative Bespoke.

What is your view on tattoos?

I do not have any tattoos. I like to keep my body clean inside and out.

What three clothing items can’t you live without?

I definitely live in my sports bra and shorts. But going out to dinner or event has to be a beautiful dress and high heels.

What is your dream job?

I already have all my dream jobs. I absolutely enjoy taking care of my children, I love exotic cars and modeling.

What do you do to stay in shape, or are you just a genetic freak?

I am definitely working hard to stay in shape. Daily workouts and clean eating is the key to it.

Are you interested in or ever tried any extreme sports? (bungee, skydiving, rock climbing, BMX, moto, snowboarding):

I was very interested in skydiving before I had kids. Now I keep it mellow. Besides going for a supercar rally where you drive 150+ mph.

…I KEEP IT MELLOW. BESIDES GOING FOR A SUPERCAR RALLY WHERE YOU DRIVE 150+ MPH.

Favorite part of a man’s body? Brain & abs.
Bars, clubs, both or none? Clubs, but only with VIP experience. Otherwise my sleep is worth more.
