Happy Father's Day!!!


He is one of my rocks that keeps me grounded. If it wasn't for him (and my Mom of course) I could have maybe lost myself here in the city. Thanks so much for always being there for me! Love you so much!!!

Just a little about me...

Hi All!

I just thought I would give you a little background about myself before I start putting up my VERY random thoughts.

I grew up on a ranch near a small town of 2,000 in Nebraska. I was as country as you can get. I rode horses, went hunting with my Dad, etc. I used to joke around about one day being a model, cause I was always tall and skinny (5'11"/120). When I was a sophomore in high school, my sister heard on the radio about how they were holding castings for Barbizon, a modeling school in a town about an hour away from us. So, my sister and my Mom took me to the casting. I got in and did the schooling, graduated. I then decided that I wanted to focus on my sports instead and get a scholarship.

I ended up getting scholarships for track (high jump) and volleyball. I went to UNK (University of Nebraska at Kearney) for track. College just wasn't for me, at least then. I got contacted by Barbizon to try out for a competition in New York City. I made it into the modeling competition and ended up doing very well. I got an agency here in NYC and moved. The competition was in July 2006 and I moved out here in October 2006. I've lived here since then and been loving every minute of it! New York is amazing!!

That's just a little background on me. :)
