Eric, a
warm welcome to Stunning Men and many thanks for taking the time to do the
interview. Could we start off with talking a
little about yourself and your background? You live in Philadelphia, PA, is that
where you are from too?
I am from Philadelphia and have always lived
in Philadelphia.
You have
a stunning physique. What do you do to maintain it and keep healthy? Do you do
any sport?
I work out every day along with cardio twice a day.
I also watch my diet, and sodium intake.
You are a
model at Silver Model Management. How did you get into modelling? Is it
something you always wanted to do?
I started by submitting myself and they liked
me and ended up signing me.
What do
you enjoy the most about modelling?
I love meeting new people and the new
opportunities.
What do
you like most when working with a photographer?
When we create a shot that we both love.
How do
you prepare before a photoshoot?
I do extra cardio and abs a few days out from
the shoot and cut carbs to really get lean.
What advice would you give a new model?
Ask as many questions as possible.
How do
you keep motivated?
By seeing my competition and what they are doing.
How do
you fit modelling and fitness into your life? Is it a difficult thing to
achieve?
Sometimes it is difficult but normally I enjoy it
and love what I do and it is so rewarding when I get a new opportunity or see a
gain or inspire someone else.
You are a
certified personal trainer and are studying Physical Therapist; what do you
intend to do?
I am planning on getting a doctorate in Physical
Therapy and a masters in Nutrition.
How do
you approach a challenge?
With an open mind.
What do
you do in your down time?
SLEEP! I am always
napping if I am not in the gym.
Do you
have any role models? People who inspire you?
Other models whom I respect and observe doing their
thing! My childhood hero and my favourite idol of all time is Allen Iverson.
Now a few
quick fun questions if you are game? Do you think you are a good date?
I am a really fun date because I love taking the
girl out and showing her an experience she would have never had without me.
Are you a
brief man or a boxer kinda guy?
Brief
What’s
the craziest thing you’ve ever done?
Bought a car outright … in cash. It has been a
dream of mine to do that.
What do
you listen to on your iPod?
Eminem mostly, but I like all music

What
three words describe you best?

One last
question Eric, where do you see yourself and what would you like to be doing in
10 years time?
I would like to be a major icon in the fitness
industry, or possibly signed with a major company.
