And I have been loving it so far.

4. Between commercial and runway modeling, which is the IT kind of modeling for you?

: I’m a specialist on beauty pageants if I’m allow to use that term, meanwhile a few times on the runway and its fine experience, I’m open for more opportunities. Commercial modeling is every model’s wish because it’s where the big money is since we talking endorsements, advertisements, and more

8. being from an African set up do tell us, there are stereotypes on male modeling, how do you overlook that?

Gender doesn’t determines the quantity of the results/achievements, will/attitude does, go for what you believe in.

 10. You have had a progressively steady growing career, what are the greatest lessons you have learnt?

Patience and humility is are great virtues needed, most importantly always ensure your services are worth more than the expected reward and with time you be paid more, lost money always comes back. Create valuable relationships on your way, you will need them later on.

The vision is too deep to explain, but I hope to be where I can inspire/impact more people on a daily bases, where I can comfortably provide more than enough for my family and anyone who seek my help.

13. Any closing remarks?

 Nothing on earth could be possible for me without God, so no matter what you do out there, no matter how difficult the situation seems, always remember there’s nothing God can’t fix. I pray a lot and I think you should too.
