Paul Hanschke

Then in 2005, at the age of 25, things took a dramatic turn, when a photographer friend suggested that Hanschke - who was in good shape, doing painting and carpentry - consider modeling. This led to his first modeling job when he got tabbed for "Guy Without His Shirt" in Cosmopolitan magazine. His shot in Cosmo - darkly tanned, square jaw line, muscular - has brought calls from many modeling agencies in California. Soon after, Hanschke has appeared in several popular magazines, including Glamour and DNA. In addition, the 6-foot-2, 180-pound hunk has done ads for Kohl's, Sears, Harley and Jockey.
