Benjamin "a rush from shooting in front of the camera"
 
AT COLLEGE My family is from the Northwest. I was, however, raised in the Midwest. I finally came to Orange County/ Los Angeles to launch my modeling career and also go to school. I am studying pre-med so I can be a physical therapist. My heritage is English, Italian, Irish.

ALL ABOUT NETWORKINGI think the modeling world is all about networking. I value my connections and we all work together to produce great work. I decided to become a model because I really like to keep in shape and I get a rush from shooting in front of the camera. It is a way for me to tell the viewer something about myself through eye contact and intensity in my images. I first shot when I was thirteen for a Daytons catalog. It turns out, that the company was bought out by Marshal Fields in the late '90s. I also did some other various print/commercial gigs through out my youth as well.

UNDERWEAR CAMPAIGN I am currently shooting TIMOTEO. He is a fantastic LA designer and he has the hottest underwear in town. I look forward to promoting his wonderful products. In addition to the underwear campaign, I was featured in the June issue of Metro Source. I am on the contents page and I have a page in the middle as well. I happen to be wearing TIMOTEO's new speedo. I would like to shoot for Calvin Klein, Volcom, Ed Hardy, Giorgio Armani, EVER or any new hot designers that like my look.
EXTREME SPORTS If the sport is extreme, I am into it. Such as: Skateboarding, Skimboard, Bike, Run, Rock climb, go to the gym, Snowboarding. I go to the gym four times a week to maintain and tone. For cardio, I usually do a cross training routine that consists of running, skateboarding, and climbing stairs.
CRAZY SUMMER - My craziest thing of summer, was when I went to Myrtle Beach, SC and partied at club Kryptonite. It was a blast and we ended with a hot tub party on the roof of our rented penthouse condo. Ahhhh
. Good times.
