There's a certain quality that comes with being from the Midwest. Wherever you go - but in particular here in New York City - people tend to think you are wholesome, considerate and a good person. They also tend to have crazy farm boy fantasies about you - which can work for you or against you, I suppose. I'm sure plenty of you will have a fantasy or two about this week's model - Jason Borish!

Jason grew up on Strongsville, Ohio which is just outside of Cleveland. Growing up he was always a jock - no surprise there. His favorite sport was basketball. In fact, he loved basketball so much that every Friday, when he was 14, he would cash his check from his dishwashing job and spend all of it on basketball cards.

During his senior year of high school he made Varsity Basketball 2nd Team All Conference.

Jason has a very noticeable tattoo on his left arm. What you may not know is that originally he had a New Jersey Devils logo in that spot - which he thought was badass. Years later he wanted to get rid of it and payed homage to his Eastern Orthodox heritage and got the Byzantine cross and Greek key tatt.

Jason is a fitness buff and through his website he offers tips and suggestions for anyone looking for it. He's a certified personal trainer. And, Jason is an independent fitness model - which means he's one of a handful of models featured here that isn't represented by one of the large modeling agencies.
