Fitness Does a Body Good

We’re nuts about new model Stefan Williams, and for good reason. Read why he has our hearts aflutter.

California Love

Thirty-year old cutie Williams resides in Marina Del Rey, California, where he works as an account manager for a general contractor by day and spends his spare time modeling. “I get asked all the time,” he says. “So, for my thirtieth birthday I decided to go out and take some pictures and see what happens.”

Lead By Example

“My body is how I motivate people, so if I’m not walking the walk, it’s kind of hard to talk the talk,” says Williams.

Thinking Ahead

Williams’ side business helps him help others. He works with Fortune 500 company that sells nutritional products, under which he runs his own independent franchise. He manages a team of sixty and hopes to make it his full time gig real soon. He says international domination is also in his plans.

People Magnet

“People tend to gravitate towards me,” says Williams. “I’m always positive and I think others enjoy that.”

This Guy Is On Fire

Williams says he once attended “firefighter college” and worked as a forest firefighter before moving on to marketing and account management. “I have a bachelor of science degree in Firefighter Protection Engineering,” he says.

Suit and Tie

“People might look at me and think, oh, he’s just a gym guy, but I make money in a suit and tie every day,” insists Williams, who we say, looks equally lovely in and out of a suit.

More Than Meets the Eye

“Fitness is just something that I love to do and I’m addicted to it,” says Williams. “I’ve trained before but it can take a lot out of you. If you have a full time job and you’re meeting clients, you can really get worn out.” Instead, Williams continues to focus on sharing inspiration through social media and building his fitness modeling portfolio.

Perfect the Craft

Williams hits the gym daily and tells us that he just started doing yoga this month. “It’s pretty comical,” he admits of his effort thus far. “It’s really hard!”

Good Times

Williams wound up with the nickname “Willy Beamen,” after Jamie Foxx’s character in Any Given Sunday, while at a pool party in Vegas. He admits it has “sort of stuck with him” ever since.

Just Go With It

“I’m a very flexible guy,” says Williams. “When I’m out with a woman, we can go to Cirque de Soleil or we can go see a movie. I’m open!”

Canada Connection

Williams is a proud Canadian. He was born and raised just outside of Toronto and when he was in his early 20s he moved to Los Angeles.

Mama’s Baby

Solid As A Rock

Admittedly, we’re obsessed with Stefan’s smoking hot physique. It’s flawless and very (very!) easy on the eyes.

Take a Ride With Me

For fun, Williams loves hopping in his car and taking a drive through California’s canyons. (He likes to go auto-crossing too!)

The Man Can Cook

“I’m into cars, I’m into fitness and food,” says Williams, who brags that he can make any and everything well. Turkey burgers and banana pancakes are just a few of his specialties.

Dinner Is Served

“I like to entertain,” says Williams. “When I’m dating, I’d rather have a woman come over and I can host and cook for her. I got that from my mom, I think.”

Loner At Heart

Williams has one younger brother. His whole family is back in Canada but as a self-proclaimed independent spirit, he says even though he misses them dearly, he enjoys being on his own in California.
