I'm from Casa Grande, Arizona — a small town where nobody told us we could model or act. It wasn't even on the radar. When I transitioned away from music, I still wanted to create. Someone saw that I'd always been in the gym and suggested I give modeling a try. So I did.
That decision led to the SportsArt international campaign, which turned into a national cover for the Fitness Trade Journal. No agent, no connections, no roadmap — just a method I figured out for putting myself in the right rooms and getting booked. That same method took me to runway shows, editorial shoots, film sets, and brand campaigns across the country.
In 2023 I moved to New Mexico to launch The Stash, my seed-to-sale cannabis company. A completely new market where nobody knew my name — again. When I found out Netflix was filming out here, I drove to the set just to see it. The next year I connected with local photographers, tried some new looks, met a casting director — and booked a role on Ransom Canyon for Netflix. Unknown to on set in under two years.
That's not luck. That's the same system working in a different zip code. And it's exactly what I'm teaching in "Congratulations, You're Booked" — because if a kid from Casa Grande can do it, so can you.
The backwards "N" in Normal isn't just a logo — it's a philosophy. Do it differently, do it with intention, and never apologize for not fitting the mold.
