ProScout Discovery Michael Derr

(Model – Iowa) Discovered by ProScout in Des Moine, Michael was first seen at ProScout (Kansas City) where he was recruited by Ford Models NYC. A former military intelligence analyst, Michael was thought at first to be a bit big for fashion, so he lost 50lbs of muscle and targeted his goal in NYC. His bookers at Ford saw big things for him; and super-photographer Mario Testino agreed, booking him for a highly coveted solo shoot his first week in NY. A star on the rise.
