Q: How important is self-care to you?
A: Self-care is any activity that we do deliberately in order to take care of our mental, physical and emotional health. Good self-care is key to improved mood and reduced anxiety. It’s also a key to transmit good feelings to others.
Q: We’ve seen that you do some modeling jobs. How did you start modeling?
A: My first professional photoshoot was at the age of seventeen. I was skinny, but super fit track and field athlete. I got an opportunity to work in Thailand in the summer. That wasn’t fun as I had zero clues and never been really interested to be a model. I got a contract for two months and earn my first “big” money. Step by step I became to be more interested in brands and magazines. Modeling is my hobby. I like to surprise my audience and bring extra motivation trough content.
Q: Can you tell us about how do you keep healthy and in such great shape?
A: The main key to natural healthy shape is to care what you consume. My daily routine consists of 30% of the time cooking home-made food. If you nourish the body from inside you will be glowing from outside.
Q: How is your underwear brand “Provomen” going?
A: We have launched swimwear recently. New types of swimwear are coming. Taylors are working patiently for new underwear and sportswear collection to find the ideal fit and final unique touch. We are planning to open the corner-shops around the globe. In July Provomen has the first anniversary.
Q: Which advice would you have loved to hear before?
A: I wouldn’t know. I try to follow ethical manners and always listen to my guts. For sure love, family and sprinkle the love wherever you go.
Q: How would you describe yourself?
A: My sign is Leo. Goals orientated, loyal, consistent, creative and brave. I put all my love into relationships. Fearless optimists who refuse to accept failure.
Q: What inspires you in your daily life?
A: People who’s helping others. My past and lessons I’ve learned.
Q: Would you give any advice for those who are struggling with their body shape?
A: Everyone is beautiful and needs to love themselves. Find your weaknesses and overcome them. Never give up. Never wait. One hour walk burns 500 kcal. Water balance is important: keep your metabolism high and clean your body.
Q: Which values do you think Vanity Teen Magazine represents and stands up for?
A: Vanity Teen is a unique Magazine. It is a good opportunity to be shown around the globe as a new face in the male fashion. It’s the right time to be featured in Vanity Teen Magazine to boost my career from the very beginning.
