Hello! Welcome to Voltcase, how are things!?

Yeah, not bad thanks, bloody cold tho :/

So, how would you describe yourself to a stranger in just three words?

Random, friendly and fun.

Loud rock 'n' roll plays a big part in our lives here at Voltcase, are you a big music fan? Any bands or artists you might want to namedrop for us, or any unknown acts that you think we should check out?

I love Johnny Truant, BMTH, Devil Wares Prada, to name a few. I love death metal the best.

Now, on to the modelling – how did it all start for you? Was it something you always wanted to do, or did it just 'happen'?

After I had my girl in 2005, I decided I wanted to model, so I did shoots and that and then started from there, I have had paid work, and do a few paid shoots a week now :) as well as the occasional tfcd.

Do you have any personal guidelines on what you will or won't do for the sake of a good photo, or is it pretty much anything goes? And if you do have any guidelines, have you ever been in a situation where you've had to enforce them?

I am happy to try most things, I love doing alternative themes, and now started to do some implied topless and topless modelling, trying to keep to my alternative style.

For a lot of models, acting and modelling seem to go hand in hand. Have you ever done any acting, or do you have any aspirations to go into it?

Lol, acting hmm.. not sure If I would remember any lines Lol, but I would like to give it go. I would love to appear in a Horror tho, (like a slasher film) hehe.

We're all a bunch of geek's at heart here at Voltcase, are you particularly geekie about anything in particular yourself – the embarrassing the better!?

Hmm.. geekie about me, not as such, I love the computer tho Lol, when not working normally on the net Lol networking etc....

If you were interviewing yourself, what question would you ask yourself? And what would the answer be?

What's your best advice on modelling? well life is to short, you got it, you flaunt it! Give it go, not for everybody, but life is fun at the mo, I met alot of great people and got to have fun as well as earning money.

So, what big plans, if any, have you got the rest of the year? Anything exciting going on?

Not really, going out xmas day for a family meal. Got more shoots coming up and doing a xmas shoot, for my portfolio. Hoping 2009 will be a good one hehe

And finally, the question that we ask everyone that appears in Voltcase - what does the word 'Voltcase' mean?

Ooooh, sounds like a cool name for a band hehe, or could be a german scientist too hehe, Dr Voltcase (with grey wirery hair ) hehe Lol
