Justin Schmidt

I’m a 34-year-old Texas native, born and raised in a small town in South-Central Texas where hard work and humility were a way of life. I grew up on my family’s rice farm, which has been passed down through generations and is still in operation today. That upbringing taught me responsibility, perseverance, and how to find humor and joy even when the work gets tough.

 

I went on to attend Texas A&M University and eventually became a professional automotive and diesel mechanic — a trade I’ve been proud to work in for the past eight years. Whether it’s fixing engines or solving problems on the fly, I’ve always enjoyed working with my hands and figuring things out.

 

Outside the shop, I’m outgoing and social — I’ve never met a stranger. I love connecting with people, making them laugh, and creating genuine moments wherever I go. I’ve played on co-ed softball, kickball, and football teams in Austin, Texas, and I stay active through fitness and living a healthy lifestyle.

 

Travel and new experiences are what keep me inspired. Whether it’s exploring a new city, meeting new people, or trying something completely out of my comfort zone, I’m always ready for what’s next.

 

I’m now looking to take that same drive, authenticity, and energy into the world of entertainment — from film and television to modeling and comedy. I bring a grounded, real-world Texas charm, a strong work ethic, and a personality that naturally connects with others.
