HC: Is it true that you are also a singer?
RJP: I try and sing, but I would need lessons before I could consider myself a singer. I lip synched the Rascal Flatts song Here Comes Goodbye for a music video, but that’s about as far as my career goes in singing lol.

RJP: I just enjoy doing it.
HC: Is it true that you’re a model as well?
RJP: Yes, I have been modeling for almost three years now.
HC: What made you begin modeling?
RJP: I did a photo shoot after my first bodybuilding competition, and I really felt like I was good at it, so I kept pushing to see if I could make it. After spending Christmas in Miami modeling for Lacoste, I feel like I acheived this.
HC: How do you find time to juggle your busy lifestyle?
RJP: It has truly been a challenge to try and be successful at UNCW as well as with my modeling and acting career. With acting you will typically spend an average of at least 12 hours on set per day, and with modeling you’re looking at a lot of traveling. It has led to many all-nighters, and never-ending emails with my professors to find a way to fit it all in, but as one of my favorite professor’s Dr. Edward Graham says, “Sacrifice yields dividends.”
HC: Favorite quote?

RJP: Utilize UNCW as much as possible, there are never-ending amounts of outlets that will help you so much in your pursuit of your career, and you should take full advantage of it while you have the opportunity!
