Throughout his life, Blake Price has worn Nike and Under Armour brands, not knowing, until last June, that he would be modeling for these great companies.
Price is a first year student at Southeast Community College from Cortland who graduated in 2010 from Norris High School.
After accepting a friend request on Facebook from Silver Model Management, Price became one of their models.
He met with an agent in Kansas City and later traveled to New York where he signed with Silver Model Management.
“The agent that added me on Facebook was my cousin’s agent” Price said. “I thank him for this great opportunity. Having a family memeber there helps me from getting home sick.”
“They work with lots of companies like Abercrombie and Hollister and tons of magazines like Men’s Health,” said Price.
He will be signing with an agency called Soul this fall.
Price took a year off of modeling and is now attending SCC in Beatrice, where he is pitcher on the baseball team. In high school, he also wrestled and played football.
“I have a very strict diet,” said Price, who said he works out everyday for an hour. “I get bored out of my mind if I don’t workout.”
Price wants to continue his education, and get a Health and Human Performance Degree. Both education and modeling are part of his future plans.
“It works out perfect; my job and degree have a lot in common,” Price said.
