Colby, I'm really flattered you accepted to be interviewed
for CoverMen Mag!, to start this interview off, please
give me some background information such as hometown,
family, education, where do you live now.

Education: Sonora High
School, Bachelors in Criminology at the University of
La Verne

-Let's
look back at how you started modeling, tell me about
how you got "discovered".
Played
baseball in college and valet parked as a side job and
got discovered by a photographer (Jamie Luca) while
parking cars at the Santa Anita Mall. Took some pictures
and signed with Nous Models in L.A. a week later.
-How
did you get your first modeling job? What was it like?
My first modeling job was for Vogue Hommes. Just
went to the casting and got picked...was pretty sweet
but was unaware of the quality of the job until later
on
-Surely you're a very successful model,
please tell me about your main modeling assignments
so far: your ad campaigns and the famous photographers
you have worked with...
Shot Vogue Hommes,
Citizen K, OUT a couple of times, Abercrombie &
Fitch, Hollister which was obviously shot with Bruce
Weber, Shows in Milan and New York, spent some time
in Tokyo, Japan. Just graduated last May from college
and now plan on traveling as much as I can and as long
as I can...I guess you can say I'm taking advantage
of the blessings that stand before me.
-In
terms of preferences, do you like to do photo shoots
for editorials and campaigns or do you enjoy doing the
runways more?
While editorials and campaigns
are a lot of fun and pay a lot better, you also get
to spend more time with the people you are working with,
allowing you to make good connections and built great
friendships. Even though that lacks in shows, they are
still a blast to do and I would do one any day of the
week!
-I guess you travel a lot for work,
where have you been lately and where will go next? 
Been
to a few spots throughout the United States, went to
London for a job, spent a month in Italy, graduated
from school and went to Tokyo for 2 months, and I am
now in New York. I plan on heading out to Spain soon,
Germany, maybe back out to Tokyo later in the year...gonna
just play it by ear I guess and see what God has in
store for me.
-Apart from modeling, what
else do you enjoy doing? What do you like to do in your
spare time?
I love spending time with the
ones closest to me, family, friends, love to snowboard,
go to the beach, play the guitar, and enjoy the simple
things in life
-What kind of music do
you like best? Who is your favorite singer?
Got
to admit, I love country music (Chris Cagel, Toby Keith,
Brad Paisley, Jason Aldean, and Kenny Chesney) as
well as anything acoustic (Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz,
and Secondhand serenade) Also bands like MGMT, Yellowcard
and Slightly Stupid.
-How would you define
yourself in a few words?
Sarcastic, Blunt,
Chill.
-Thanks
Colby for taking your time to reply to my questions,
I wish you good luck with all your future challenges!
