zippedman.comI was discovered by Cosmopolitan Magazine because a friend of mine submitted my pictures for a competition in search of "the 50 hottest bachelors" of America. I had no idea my friend had submitted me for this competition so when I received a phone call from an editor from the magazine, telling me that I was "the hottest bachelor of California," I laughed and hung up the phone. When the editor called me back, promising me that it was not a practical joke, I kept laughing because I never really thought of myself as the "model type." Three months later I shot for the magazine and the rest is history.
