Biography |
Brad Kroenig is everywhere throughout fashion scenes in the
recent years, and is considered to one of the top male
supermodels in the world. Brad Kroenig is from Oakville in
south St. Louis County, Missouri. High society parties and
modeling shoots around the world may seem like a long way
from the days at Oakville High School, but it has been a
meteoric rise into superstardom in the modeling world for
Brad Kroenig.
Brad was quite the player on the soccer field and basketball
court back in high school. It's that determination that
helped Brad earn a soccer scholarship to Southern Illinois
University in Edwardsville. Brad found the 30-mile distance
from home difficult. "He didn't stay in dorm often, he was
home almost every night," says his mother. Brad mustered up
the courage to move away.
Brad took his soccer skills to Florida International
University in Miami at the start of his junior year. A
friend convinced him to visit some modeling agencies. All
three agents liked what they saw, and were interested in
having Brad work right away. After three short months, Brad
dropped out of school to pursue a modeling career. It wasn't
long before Brad's picture was in magazines and catalogues,
such as Maxim and Abercrombie and Fitch, and on hair care
products.
It has been a whirlwind for Brad's modeling career in the
last three years. Since 2003, Brad has appeared in every
major designer's ad campaigns and fashion shows including
Lagerfeld, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Fendi, Perry Ellis,
and Justin Cavalli, and on just about every magazine cover.
Models.com currently ranks Brad the number one male model in
the world. "I gotta do a lot to get to No. 1. I don't want
to give it up," says Brad.
The popularity of Brad in fashion gets him into some of the
most elite parties in the world. He was at parties with Mike
Tyson, Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise and the cast of 'Friends.'
Even with a life like that Brad is already looking for a new
challenge. Brad is getting a little bored with modeling, and
plans on retiring in a year or so. When he's not modeling,
Brad's passion is in real estate. His first purchase of a
$600,000 apartment has already gone up by $200,000 in eight
months. He recently just got his real estate license, and
bought a $1.8 million, three-bedroom loft in Miami, his
second major investment.
In terms of dating, Brad won't settle down until he is 35 or
40 years old. But that may come sooner than Brad believes,
since he wants to be in real estate business full-time after
he retires from modeling. Brad has no interest in a
transition to acting or becoming the next Hollywood star,
but to be the next Donald Trump, of course without the
bankruptcy part. |
