The professional model, whose name has become increasingly recognized in the fashion industry, signed with the prestigious Wilhelmina agency—a major milestone in his journey. His career, now spanning over a decade, has seen him collaborate with major brands like Target, Macy’s, Express, and Old Spice, solidifying his presence on both print and runway platforms. Along the way, the model has also dipped his toes into acting, landing small but notable roles on popular TV shows such as 30 Rock, Ugly Betty, and Beauty and the Beast—proving his versatility beyond modeling.

Even before fame found him, there were clear signs of his passion for beauty and self-expression. As a young person, he was deeply fascinated by aesthetics and often spent time doing his friends’ hair and makeup for special events, showing early talent and dedication. Born in Connecticut to parents Nora and Tom Clynes, he grew up in a lively household with four siblings: two sisters, Rachael and Liv, and two brothers, Chris and Andrew. This close-knit family environment helped shape the grounded yet ambitious individual he is today—the model continues to inspire not just through his work, but through his authenticity and drive.
