Tell our readers about your experience on the dating competition show FBOY Island and how you provide the old adage “nice guys always finish last” wrong?
My experience on Fboy Island was one to remember to say the least. I met some amazing ladies and even more amazing fellas and really created friendships that will last a lifetime. I’ve always stayed true to myself in my character and refused to let the games and manipulation tactics of dating getting in the way of my mantra “if you be nice, work hard and always treat everyone equally, things will fall into place.”
How did you first get started acting?
I played the UPS guy in a regional production of Legally Blonde the Musical and I knew performing was my calling, so I got accepted into California Institute of the Arts. Soon after my first semester however, I dropped out to pursue a professional career in the industry. My first big role was the love interest of Camila Cabello in her Grammy award winning music video “Havana.”
In addition to modeling and acting, you are also making a name for yourself as a stand-up comedian. What are the differences and similarities to modeling and acting?
There’s not many similarities between modeling and stand-up, however the majority of my acting tends to steer towards comedy so at the end of the day, I’m just trying to put a smile on peoples faces. And I guess you could say modeling does that to some extent as well so they’re all basically the same thing lol
Tell our readers some of your favorite moments as a stand-up comedian?
My favorite moments as a standup comedian in general are when I get someone in the audience that is funny and interactive with me and I can just riff and forget about my set. Some of the best moments have come on the road in smaller crowds
What is it like hosting and recording “Smoochie Town” at the legendary Barney’s Beanery?
I fortunately have moved into a studio but I will always be thankful for Barry giving me my start and recording there. I’ve never felt more myself and comfortable than interviewing my famous friends on my podcast. I’ll actually be getting a billboard soon in West Hollywood so be on the lookout for that. It’s my favorite thing to do.
What were some of the key values you learned growing up in a family of all sisters about respecting women, and why is this important to you?
I owe everything to my parents because I was raised properly, even in a divorced household. I had a great stepdad as well as a great father figure, and three sisters who always showed me and taught me how to respect women. Old-fashioned, full Italian, and full respect towards women; those are my three pillars.
Tell us about your fitness routineTell routine.
I love to incorporate all aspects of fitness into my weekly routine. I love to lift heavy ass weights, mix in a group fitness class here and there, as well as some fasted cardio outside such as a hike or game of basketball. I always like to keep my body guessing
Where is your favorite place to eat?
I eat Sweet Green five days a week and you can say that I’m addicted and need a sponsorship but I would continue to pay for it until the day I die because the Harvest Bowl is literally crack to me.
Do you work with any charities?
Both of my grandparents have unfortunately passed due to Alzheimer’s disease so I try to work closely and donate to certain charities revolving around finding a cure for that.
