Role Model: My parents and my uncle, because they have been freelancers over 20 years. My parents are my role models because they worked very hard for their success. They don't have so much free time these days, but I still admire their perseverance. My uncle is also my role model due to the fact that he worked at IBM and traveled all around the world. If I ask him anything, he probably knows it and could explain it to me.
Hobbies: Gym, basketball, theater, organizing diverse events, scouting models, modeling.
How did you get involved in modeling: It was sheer luck. One of my friends registered on a modeling page and he told me something about it. Soon after, I registered on the same site and the rest is history.
What is your daily routine: Normally, I get up at 7 a.m and then I have to go to my university till 3.30 p.m. After, I study for some time then hit the gym. If I find myself working during the week, I have to be up by 6. a.m and work till 5 p.m.
For a male model, what is essential to succeed in the industry: Perfect charisma is essential and you should be versatile. A very important fact: you have to be real and not arrogant, no matter how successful you become.
What are some of your goals for 2013: I am determined to finish my university exams.
What is the best modeling gig/opportunity you've had so far: I will go to Brazil for a few days to engage in a catwalk show for American Crew.
Where would you like to travel for work: All over the world, because I like different cultures and would like to see how people around the world live.
Best thing about Berlin: I love Berlin so much. In this city, you have so many opportunities and different kinds of people - it's amazing.
One thing you would change in Berlin/Germany: The inequality between the rich and the poor.
