This is Jake, who’s photos I recently had a chance to review and really liked, and decided I wanted him on the site.   Especially since he took the time to get some really good photos taken!

So one thing I always have in the back of my mind is when I add a new model or aspiring model is that I don’t say something idiotic and embarrass them or myself because I obviously think they have the kind of physique or look (or both) to eventually make a name for themselves in fitness or fashion or entertainment or whatever it may be that they would like to pursue. Well in Jake’s case I really don’t think I have to say anything at all, because these photos speak for themselves.

Along with his photos is Jake’s bio, and when I have more time I would like to do an online interview with Jake because I wouldn’t be surprised to see more of him in the future….

My name is Jake, and I am 25 years old and I live in the midwestern USA. I am a full-time registered nurse and I am a part-time personal trainer. I have a beautiful wife of almost three years. I have one year left of Graduate School.

What inspired you to get into weightlifting or fitness?

Sports inspired me. I remember vividly one night as a sophomore in high school as I was working out on a small home gym; I thought to myself I would religiously try to workout everyday to get stronger for football and basketball. From then on, it became apart of my daily routine.

A normal workout routine for me is and two body part split i.e. (back and chest), I usually try to hit each major muscle group once a week, maybe twice depending on my fitness goals. I usually try to complete 3-4 exercises per muscle group 3-4 sets of 6-12 repetitions; again it depends on my goals. I try to do some sort of Cardio exercise, hitting the heavy bag, basketball, rowing machine, or racquetball; three days for 30mins or so.

What kind of music do you like for working out?

Music, it just varies depending on my mood. Usually, I like fast pace music that will get the blood flowing and gets me focused; Eminem, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Lil’ Wanye.

What are your other hobbies outside of fitness?

I like to play golf, fish, and play the guitar. I also enjoy spending time with my wife and family and going to  football games.

What are your goals for the future?

I have a lot of them, but the main goal I have is to do something I love and to give my wife and I and our future children the financial freedom to do what we want, when we want to do it!

My two Life Philosophies:

1. Tell me I can’t do something, I will prove you wrong or die trying.

2. I’m not afraid to die, I’m afraid of not living to the fullest.

And as usual, I saved the best pic for last, although in this case I really like both of the last two pics.  Jake photographs really well and has a good range of looks which I think will help him out a lot, should he decide to further pursue modeling or some other area of fitness and/or entertainment.

Thanks again to Jake for taking some great photos and I would like to keep in touch with him to see how he’s coming along.
