Grayson Kashino Bio:

Hi, my name is Grayson. 

I've been trying to get into the modeling industry for the past 2 years with not much luck.

I have applied to a few casting calls and done a lot of portfolio work with a local photographer (Chris Clayton).

I'm 21 years old and I spend most of my time playing guitar and working on my car and truck.... when I'm not working one of my 2 jobs!

I'm a pretty easy going guy: I have a great sense of humor and have an easy time making friends.

I would love to have a chance to be in the calender and get the industry exposure that it could provide.

Alexandra Henderson Bio:

Hello There!

My name is Alexandra Henderson. I am 22 years old and I was born and raised in Kelowna, though I have not always lived here.

When I graduated from KSS, I moved to the Greek island, Corfu. I was professionally competing and training in equestrian show jumping - my passion. My job allowed me to travel all over Greece. I even got to compete in the Olympic Stadium in Athens.

Since then I lived in Vancouver for a year, riding and competing at a barn down there. While I was there I got the opportunity to ride with USA's Olympic gold medalist, Will Simpson.

I am currently a business student at Okanagan College, Kelowna campus. I am combining my passion for psychology with marketing, because I know understanding the consumer will give me the upper hand in the world of professional selling. I am also a member of SIFE, an international non-profit organization that combines student's innovative ideas with local investors.

I am a project manager of The Young Entrepreneurs Competition which will be running in school district 23 in the beginning of February.

I have grown up in a family of photographers. Being a model has never been a career goal, but being apart of a photo shoot was common in my upbringing. My most current goal is to get into real estate investing, and idea inspired by the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," by Robert Kiyosaki - this is a must read!

Chad Valentino Bio:

My name is Chad Valentino. I am a 25-year-old from Kelowna. I was originally born in Edmonton, AB, but spent most of my childhood growing
up in Kelowna.

I attended high school at KSS, and spent three years at UBC-O. I am currently working as a foreman for a construction company based here in the Okanagan.

I purchased my first condo downtown four years ago and enjoy living the downtown life. I also recently became engaged to my beautiful girlfriend, Sydney, on Christmas morning.

I enjoy pub crawling with friends, partying in Kelowna summers, and spending time with my family.

My hobbies include snowboarding, abstract act, cooking, fashion, and photography. Becoming a model is a definite interest I am currently looking to pursue.

 

Elicia Hadley Bio:

My name is Elicia Hadley and I am a 24-year-old single mom of a gorgeous 4-year-old daughter. I am a second year college student in health care, and a few years ago I also discovered hobby modelling. I've worked with a few different photographers and have recently got into the event planning side of things. My schooling always takes priority though, as I have big plans to open my own clinic in a few years.

An even higher priority to my schooling is, of course, my daughter. When we aren't cuddling watching Disney movies (usually Tangled), we are dancing to the radio, jumping on our mini trampoline, sharing chocolate, or singing in the shower. My favourite moments are the night time snuggles, which usually include a good story, a few songs, and of course, a ton of kisses. I've "trained" her in such a way that all I have to do is say, "Hey, Tiana!" and she automatically replies with, "I love you!" It's a great party trick.

I have had a lot of change in my life over the past couple years, and lately the focus has been on love; for myself, for everyone around me, and for life.

Comedy and humour play a huge role in helping me stay sane when everything is constantly go-go-go. I love just being silly and having fun, especially during Tiana's crucial toddler years, that I will never get back. As the saying goes, "Live. Laugh. Love!"
