It is truly an honor to be the most tattooed male romance cover model in the world.
If it wasn’t for my kids, many friends and people like Mike Feulner who gave me the opportunity to be reborn again as a competitive athlete when I was at my worst I would probably have ended up dead or in prison.
Thank you all so much!
This Perry Ellis fashion shot is the first of its kind I have received back from the shoot a couple weeks ago and I dedicate it to the amazing author, mom and friend of mine Crystal Rister. Much love and respect for you Crystal always for everything you have done for me.
I had this quick video filmed this morning as many of my friends have been asking me how things have been going with my training and projects. I always feel there are things I could have done better but I guess that is what keeps me working hard on things in the present. Trying to make “right” today what was “wrong” in the past. I think that as long as I work hard, keep focused and have a positive attitude I can live with whatever happens. My abs in this video @ 3 weeks out from my show in New York, the NPC Brooklyn Grand Prix being put together by Bev Francis. She and her husband Steve always put on great shows and I am just honored to be part of it.

So here are the images from the photo reel in Perry Ellis. If any of the writers and authors would like to use them for anything feel free. This goes for you also Jillian Bullock feel free to have at it. Guess I should look like a bit of a bad guy seeing as I am being cast in your 2014 movie, ‘A Sense of Purpose: Fighting for Our Lives’ as an MMA instructor and former soldier Sgt. Jason Garrett so I gotta be tough, LOL!
Thanks & Much Love,
John
Here is one of the images from my recent shoot in Perry Ellis. I would like to personally thank Trisha Fradenburgh for her kind words about the photo:
“You have got to be one of the most stunning men that I have ever known! You look so serious and masculine….you could be Evander Holyfield’s brother from another mother (only much better looking!)….fierce looking!!! You will do amazing in your roll and I for one can’t wait to watch it!!!! Nothing but love for you Sir!!!”
“Thinking about many things; being successful, being a good dad, being humble and ego-free, being honored to be selected for things I never thought I would, to never forget those who helped me along the way when I was down and to thank God every day for watching over me.”

Just a personal message from me from the heart, thank you everybody for all the love and support. When life has thrown me curve balls and during times in my life when I have really been down and out so many have been there with nothing but positive vibes and kindness. Without so many of you I probably would have quit. My deepest appreciation for all the good people out there in the world.
God Bless
I finally went into detail about the 2014 movie I was selected to be in yesterday on Renegade Talk FM Radio. Much love and respect for you Jillian Bullock! I am honored!
A Sense of Purpose: Fighting for Our Lives
When four veterans, two men, Shawn Wallace and Alexander Blakely, and two women, Sabrina Smith and Nancy Dawson, who served in Iraq or Afghanistan during wartime return home they all suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Turning to drugs and alcohol and struggling with depression they find that an unconventional form of therapy, Mixed Martial Arts. It helps them heal, assimilate back into society and find peace. I play the character role of Sgt. Jason Garrett who served in Iraq with Lt. Alexander Blakely (Clinton Bullock). Together we open an MMA school together in Philadelphia to serve veterans. The school is Elite Warriors MMA & Boxing School.*
*Not a real school, just for the movie
