Name|Vincent Mantione

How did you get discovered?
As a surfer, I've learned never to fight the current, so when modeling came into my life I just went with the flow.
What were you doing prior to modeling?
Construction. My last job in that field was fixing houses from super storm Sandy
People would be surprised to know that I...
believe I have an old soul. Like I should of been born in the 40's, 30's or 20's. Everything about those periods in history appeals to me
What's your latest obsession?
I've been focused on school (Electrician) and at the same time I am starting to look into the modeling industry and how it works.
Your most prize possession?
Funny enough, I have this book with past letters, menus, tickets from ex-girlfriends.
Growing up, who did you look up to as your hero?
My father. Everyone loves my dad, and he gets along with everyone and just a all around loving, funny, sarcastic guy. I love him!
When is the last time you said, "I Love You" to someone?
It was an ex-girlfriend. Her name was Michelle Natalello...I still miss her very much!
Three adjectives that best describes you:
Innovative, Drivin and Caring
Describe your personal style:
Prep, skater, surfer, hipster—my style is of everything around me
Your favorite place you have travel to:
OK, Canada—A beautiful hotel around a lake. It was a random trip and I wound up being there!
Your favorite film and scene from the film:
Goodfellas—Scene: When Joe Pesci's character apologize to Henry Hill by saying, "Sorry, I didn't mean to get blood on your floor."
Your favorite sport:
Sport: Hockey
Team: Rangers

If there's a destination or item you would recommend us to check out or visit about your native country/city or town, what would you recommend?
Bayside, Queens—I will take you to Cherry Valley in Whitestone
If you were given a indie cable show, what type of show would it be? Which song would you choose as your theme song?
The show would be about "Getting into minds" Bringing in people (actors, artists, fathers mothers) and have them bring us to their thoughts on past situations. Theme song: Some music create from scratch!
Your wish for 2015?
I always lean towards relationships. I would like to find that girl of my dreams, my partner, the ones that clicks.
How would I know? I would just know it.
