An advantage I have as a male model is there are not a whole ton of other male models. One of the struggles is finding more creative concepts and ideas to shoot.

My dream venue would be Coachella.

how have SNM made an impact on your life? if any?
SNM has made a huge impact on my life. It has helped me feel way more confident and also helped me learn from other models and photographers. SNM has felt like a family that I can be myself around and also one that can help me improve constantly and strive to be better. 

your dream photoshoot?
I would love to shoot on a beach and surfing. I would probably have to learn how to surf first lol. Or a live shoot playing a concert
