IMG Models artist who first gained attention for his voluminous beard, he has since established himself, with or without his beard, in the ranks of reputable print and runway models. He is most recognizable for appearing in magazines like GQ and working with brands like Gap. He was asked if he considered modeling while getting a haircut. Later on during his modeling career, a scouting director told him he should grow out his beard. Three months and several inches of hair later, he'd secured his place in the modeling world.
