BUSY SCHEDULE


I am a half Italian/american. I was born in upstate New York, but moved to Alabama when I started high school. I graduated high school and went to a community college in a\Alabama for 2 years.

 

Now I live in South Beach, Miami where I love to go out, meet people, eat dinner, watch movies, explore the island, skateboard, play football on the beach, run and workout, rap, take pictures, dance, play video games, surf the web, and hang out with my friends.


CJA FEELING OF EMPOWERMENT


My friend who was modeling set me up with his mother agent. We started working together in January. I had my first photoshoot close to home with a local photographer. It was very empowering feeling to have a photographer take my pictures. I enjoyed it a lot. I just started modeling this year, but feel that I have already achieved a lot.


I have it drilled into my head and my heart that the sky is the limit, so i'm trying to shoot with any and every campaign. I would really like to shoot with high end fashion designers and photographers.  I haven't been to the NYC market but I am looking forward to working there, and overseas.


BEING GOOD EYE CANDY


Fashion for me is being good eye-candy. I just do what looks good and feels right. The modeling world is very deep. There are many directions you can go. You definitely have to keep your head on your shoulders and your eyes on the prize.


CJHOLDING THE SHIVER


I love how every photographer has a certain niche about them. I've seen some good ones, and some bad ones. One time i was shooting with a photog doing an underwear shot under an overpass and the traffic was backed up. The only ones who could see over the side were the 18 wheelers becuz they sit higher.

 

It was about 35 degrees outside and the wind was blowing. The truckers would honk their horns and yell funny sayings at me like "it's too damn cold for that" like I didn't know. I would have to hold my shiver for in between shots.

 


CJ"GET YOU"


Key to success is focus, determination, commitment, and hard work. The upside to modeling is you are surrounded by awesome, fun, happy, energetic, good looking people.  The down sides are the people who are out there trying to "get you" so to speak.


ALL PURPOSE


I love to rock a pair of gym shorts with a t shirt and some flip flops or running shoes. It's the all purpose outfit! I can wear it to bed, out to lunch, to the gym, the beach, around the house, to take out the trash... lol.


IMPORTANT THINGS

  • My family and friends
  • My money
  • My dedication
    My goals
  • My intelligence
  • Because those key elements have always worked for me and got me where I needed to go!

 


EVERY DAY IS BETTER

 

I just shot for the Abercrombie & Fitch campaign which comes out in the fall, and I'll be in the March issue of Ocean Drive Magazine. I am currently working with a couple different editoral pages for magazines, and also going to a lot of request castings in Miami. Things are going very good and every single day gets better. Thanks for having me for this interview. It was fun.

written by leightonfan#1 on March 14, 2008

What a great interview. I love his words. Holding his shiver. And I love the phrase that fashion is being good eye candy. Honey I am going to use that. And I love the words, "I love to rock a pair of gym shorts."
that second pic is for the masses honey and it will be wallpaper for many of us.
I would give anything just to sit and look and listen to this guy.
His bod and his vocab have me enthralled.
CJ, go now with your bad self and go to New York and show them what real eye candy is honey. You have my support. And I'm spreading the word honey child. I'm telling everyone on yahoo sites to get their sorry asses to connex today. Whew child. What out Leighton and Ivan. I love you two but lets just say the competition is getting stiff around here child. Love to all. Peace to you CJ. And Edward Carl, thanks are not enough from all of us for what you and Mike and Leighton do for us. Damn wish I could help more.
