Growing up in a suburb of Los Angeles (Palos Verdes), most of my youth was focused on pursuing sports, and that really paid off when I earned a football scholarship to the University of Colorado (click here to learn more about that). After college, I started coaching high school football, along with breaking into the modeling industry. I went on to take a job coaching & playing American football in Rome, Italy (The Lazio Marines). Upon my return to the USA I was signed with the Ford modeling agency. Within the next year I had appeared in national advertising campaigns for Abercrombie & Fitch, Brooks Brothers and Ralph Lauren. I have continued coaching sports and working in the entertainment industry for over 15 years.
