1.Tori Mitchell, Cleveland, Oh.

"I have modeled in the past and had to set it aside for job and family, and now that my true inspirations are getting a little older I want to get back into the business. As I look at models today, I feel that we have lost something: the true adult male of the past is gone and I want to bring that look and feel back, nothing but original and not made up or scripted.  As I have grown over the years, I have learned a lot from art and today’s media and the focus is on the 17 year olds whose parents have to carry the burden of the purchase while dads are forgotten. As a single father of 2 beautiful young ladies who I am sure will be models one day, I want to be the face of the true American male, bold, rugged, masculine and original. I need your vote; I hope I can get it."

2.Robert Dobson, Washington, D.C.

I would be interested in the contest. I am a nice guy with a big smile, personality and build but I am a real dude too. I work out because being active and fit is the true secret to any contest. As a libra I feel I have a balance between confidence and originality. I know what being a man is about and feel good in my skin. I work hard everyday to keep myself motivated no matter what life brings and hope that I can inspire others to do the same. I focus on surrounding myself around positive people who are doing great things in the community to empower men and women around the world. I want to make a difference in a positive way. As a God fearing man I look to Jesus Christ as my savior to guide me through this world and share the good news. Thank you for allowing me to be apart of this contest. I am honored.
