He’s often called the silver fox, and honestly, it suits him perfectly. Over the years, this self-proclaimed silver fox has risen to fame as both a sought-after model and a popular social media influencer. With his rugged charm and effortlessly cool selfies, he’s built an impressive following—over 190,000 fans and counting on Instagram alone. People are drawn not just to his looks but to his story, one of resilience, love, and authenticity.

Before all the spotlight, though, life looked very different. The self-proclaimed silver fox first dipped his toes into the online world back in April 2009 when he created his Twitter account—a small step that eventually led to something much bigger. But long before social media stardom, there was a deeply personal journey. He and his husband spent years fighting for their right to marry, traveling from state to state during a time when same-sex marriage wasn’t widely recognized. Their determination paid off when they finally tied the knot in the summer of 2008, fulfilling a dream they’d held onto for so long.

Tragically, just weeks after their wedding, his husband died in a heartbreaking accident. It was a devastating loss, one that shaped the man he is today. Yet, through grief and perseverance, the self-proclaimed silver fox found a way to keep moving forward, turning pain into purpose—and along the way, inspiring thousands who now follow his journey.
