Name|Mitchell Robinson
Age|23
Hometown|Acworth, Georgia
How did you get discovered?
I was scouted while roaming Atlanta and a fashion designer noticed me and snapped some pics. He send the pics to U Model Management and I was signed.
What were you doing prior to modeling?
I was breeding endangered geckos as a kid. I started collecting them at the age of 13 and end up having over hundred before I knew it. I now specialized in Madagascar geckos and am the leading keeper in the Southwest United States. I also keep my bengal cat, Maverick in Georgia, which is my best animal I have ever kept.
Your favorite animal:
Uroplatus Pietschmanni (Cork bark leaf tailed gecko) I was obsessed when it was first discovered in 2003. It looks made up and is a freak of nature. I dream of the species which I use to keep quite often!

People would be surprised to know that I...
can jump rope while I am on a pogo stick at the same time. Also, I race sport atv's whenever I get the chance back in Georgia.
What's your latest obsession?
Trying to master the cooking of authentic porcini risotto
Your most prize possession?
My favorite endangered gecko species that is no longer available in the US was made into a custom brass necklace for me. The species means a lot to me.
Growing up, who did you look up to as your hero?
Steve Irwin was my idol. He came to Atlanta right before he died and I almost had the chance to meet him. As a kid, every Halloween I always wound up dress up as him.

My mother, she means the world to me as well as my family in Georgia
