4. Describe the town where you grew up?
It’s a small town right next to a beautiful river. The people are very loving and will make anyone feel welcome. I think growing up in a small town helped me to stay humble threw out my career. Small town guy making it in the big world.
5. Tell us about your family. What happened when you told them your desire to be Mister? Did they support you?
My family supports me with everything I do in life. They like to see me happy and I think they know the only way for me to be truly happy with myself is to take on adventures like this one.
6. Before participating in a male beauty pageants, were you interested in them or did you dream of becoming a Mister?
One of my biggest goals in life is to inspire and help people in whatever shape or form. Beauty pageants are one of the best ways to do this. So yes I have always been interested in them and what opportunities they create

8. What is your favorite part of your body and why?
My smile. There is no cheaper and easier way to brighten up someone’s day then just to smile at them
9. What is your worst quality?
I can sometimes be too hard on myself and can get very irritated and frustrated if and don’t achieve my goals
10. Tell us about your preparations for the 2011 Mr International pageant.
I generally live a healthy lifestyle. But for such a big event like this even a healthy person like me has to be strict on my diet and training. But the most important part for me is mental focus. To not get overwhelmed by the occasion. To stay calm and collected

11. Who inspires you? Any idol in life?
I don’t really have one that I look up to. I would rather say any that has used his/her power to truly change other people life is an inspiration to me. Outside of this industry I would say Steve Jobs. He was never afraid to think outside the box and he had that never say die attitude. I really admire that. RIP Steve
12. Which do you think is your best quality for winning the title of Mister International?
I think if people spent a little bit of quality time with me they will soon see that I am a very trustworthy and dedicated person. Therefore I will be a great ambassador for this pageant.

13. Have you already seen the photos of the other contestants? which ones do you think are your strongest rivals?
No I have not. I don’t really trust photos. To me it’s best to meet the candidates in person first. I like to think that for now we are all on even grounds
14. If you don’t win Mister International 2011, what are your plans for the future?
I’d like to be an inspiration to people young and old. I don’t know what the future holds. All I know is that I will never stop chasing my dreams. I won’t let life pass me by. That’s just not who I am.
