I want to continue modeling and do the best that I can with that.

You should be accumulating really great relationships throughout your career.

I'll always try to follow my heart into things I love, and modelling is not something I'm dreaming of pursuing forever.

Often, M.B.A.s will parachute around from one company or industry to another, without really understanding what's behind it.

I'm an engineer turned entrepreneur who's passionate about connection.

By no means am I trying to change the modeling industry.

It's been an extraordinary journey. I have learned so much along the way. I entered the modeling industry as a business person already. I always knew I belonged on the other side of the camera.

I learned about M&A and how to value assets and work with investment bankers.

I loved my 17 years with R.E.M., but I'm ready to reflect, assess and move on to a different phase of my life. The four of us will continue our close friendship, and I look forward to hearing their future efforts as the world's biggest R.E.M. fan.
