October, 2009
-Hello Allen, I am really flattered to interview you, just to start it off,
please give me some background information such as hometown, family, education
and so on.
Hometown: Elk Grove, California.
Family: Six sisters, one twin brother scattered
throughout California. I am working toward B.S.
Marking and in accelerated RN nursing program. I currently
live in Miami, Florida but travel back and forth from
Cali, NYC.
-Let's
look back at how you started modeling, tell me about
how you got discovered.
I got into modeling
when I was in the U.S. Navy stationed at Pearl Harbor
in Hawaii, I was just walking with some friends on Waikiki
beach when a model scout named Zach, who was working
with Abercrombie at the time came up to me and asked
me if he could take a few snap shots. Ended up
leading to my first job, which was Spring 2006 A&F
gig with Bruce Weber. However it was difficult due to
that I was in the military and on active duty. All the
military drama. I sincerely thank Zach and overall
it turned out to be a wonderful experience.
-What
kind of assignments, as a model, do you prefer? 
I
will try any assignment if I feel it to be a uplifting
to my modeling career, wellbeing, and worth while.
-Please share with me some of your main
assignments so far.
A&F, Levi’s, Blooker
Sportswear. I lived in Japan, and worked with cosmetic
company called Shiseido. Also Aquarius Sports Water
in Japan, Country Calendar with photographer Jeff Slater.
-Tell me
what do you consider to be your best achievement
so far?
My best achievement: just to be
so even fortunate enough to be given the opportunity
to model and work with so many talented people.
-Would
you accept a modeling assignment that requires some
nudity?
Some nudity, would be ok implied
depends on the situation/job.
-Tell
me about your professional plans: apart from modeling,
what else would you like to pursue?
My personal
plans are to finish school first off. I then want to
go back into the military as an officer. Perhaps try
to get into flight school. I always wanted to be a Naval
pilot. Next finish website: ClippingerTwins.com, which
my bro' and I have been working on. I also want
to eventually create a fitness video, and reality television
series in which a group of guys from different backgrounds
travel and party in different exotic countries, put
themselves in awkward real life situations with women
in other entertaining facets. A really over the top
kind of wild show, yet one that people can relate to
as well. Kind of like my experiences I had while in
the US Navy.
How would you describe yourself? If you had to use few words to describe your
personality, which adjectives would you use?
Easygoing, spontaneous,
driven, sympathetic, and flirtatious.
-What's like to be a twin? What
are the main advantages and disadvantages of being twins?
Being
a Twin, it's basically just like having a regular brother,
except he looks almost exactly like you. Advantages
of being a twin: better chance of getting modeling jobs;
if girls don't like you at first, they find out
there are two of you, and suddenly interest is there;
take each other tests; work off each other’s strengths
and weaknesses; switch on girls; use each others ID
of any kind if need be get out of warrants, use
his passport or drivers license if a must. Disadvantages:
people automatically assume my personality is just like
my brothers. Pre-judged. We are pretty much opposite
when it comes to personality.
-How do you usually
spend your spare time and what is the meaning of fun
and have a good time for you? 
I spend
my free time working towards reaching my goals, in the
gym, swimming, running, living a very active lifestyle,
partying with friends and exotic women here in Miami,
I also like to alter my state of consciousness in various
ways at times as well.
-Thanks
James for taking the time to reply to my questions,
it was a gift to me and my readers!
Thank
you, Allen.
