-Hello
Stefan, I am flattered you accepted to be interviewed
for my website, to start this interview off I'd like
to know something about the first years of your life
in Germany.
I was born in Stuttgart, lived
there till I was 18. Then I started modeling (on accident,
a photographer made some picture of me just for fun
one time and showed them to a local agency....) I was
planning on being a pro snowboarder or windsurfer then
I liked that job and started traveling and working all
over Germany, Europe and USA...
-Tell
me about your first photo shoot, how did you feel in
front of the camera?
Since I used to have
very long hair, I got booked for a job as Tarzan. Well
it was strange, felt a little uncomfortable because
there were so many people and I was almost wearing nothing.
We shot in the zoo.
-You're a very successful
model, besides your great look, what do you think photographers
see in you? Why do you think they often select you for
their photo shoots?
I don't know, I guess
there must be something - you tell me ;-). I'm very
professional and work very fast, I guess clients like
that when models know what they have to do, so they
can work fast with good results.

-What
are the ups and the downs of a modeling career?
You
get paid good money but you never know when and how
you'll work next week, month, years... There are good
and also very bad times. But at least when I don't work
I have time off and can do whatever I want. Also there
are great jobs on great locations I would never get
or pay for, plus you get paid a good rate, and then
you have the shitty paid jobs where you have to wear
terrible clothes and hang out in a boring, dark and
ugly studio. Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's not fun
but I have to do it anyway - it's my job. Also you are
most of the time by yourself, you travel, have dinners...
by yourself. A quite lonely job and life.
-Can
you share with me some of your professional projects
you are working on right now?
Starting a
self storage company chain soon, plus working with
Life Plus.
Tell me more about Life
Plus, can you explain me what is the concept behind
it?
Passive
income. All you have to do is tell people about the
product and the marketing plan. You don't sell anything!!!
just refer. And you get a percentage of everyone
you and everyone they refer. That's it. No risk, no
sells....just passive income. But many people just don't
get it. They don't understand that making money can
be that easy and so they don't even try it. That's the
only frustrating part of it.

-What are
some of your personal interests?
Sports,
travel, cars, hotels, real estate...
-If
you weren't modeling, what do you think you'd be doing
now? What did you wish to be when you were growing up?
I
wanted to be a stuntman, other than a pro snowboarder,
owning a windsurfing school... But what I would be doing
right now? I really don't know.
-Thanks
Stefan for taking your time to reply to my questions,
I wish you a Happy and Safe Holiday!
Sure
pleasure.
