Over the last several years, my son (now 20) has been told he should consider modeling. After surviving his freshman year of college and still unsure what he wanted to major in, we decided to look into modeling. Since we were so inexperienced and knew NOTHING about this business, I called a friend who works in the Cincinnati Theatre, who has traveled fairly extensively as a vocal and performance coach for local talent. I asked him first off if he thought my son really had the qualities needed for this type of work and, if yes, how would he recommend we proceed. Without any hesitation, Wings Model Management was the first place he HIGHLY recommended and then submitted my son's photos there. He stated if a model/actor/musician has potential, Jake Lang at Wings was ""the guy"" who could and WOULD make it happen, which is apparent by his previous, now famous talent he has discovered, and also because of his impressive connections in the larger markets such as Hollywood, New York, Paris, etc. \r

Within a few days of submitting the photos to Wings, we received an email from Jake to come in for an interview. From the minute we walked in, we felt at home. The assistants at Wings were welcoming, and Jake spent almost two hours with us explaining how the business works. He was honest about the positive qualities that would be in my son's favor, yet also gave constructive feedback in a very professional and kind way. He was sincere and made no promises about anything, other than that if my son followed his advice, showed up for casting calls, and made an effort to do his part, that Jake would do all he could to line up auditions. My son signed with Wings and has NEVER regretted it! Jake has done absolutely EVERYTHING he said he would do and then some! Jake has gotten numerous auditions for him, put him in front of Hollywood agents and managers, who ended up signing him. He and his staff have answered the billion questions I've had VERY patiently and courteously and have NEVER made me feel like the pest that I'm sure I've been at times. Jake and his assistant, Allie, have spent countless hours working with my son and have treated him like family. Jake has answered emails after hours, on the weekends, etc., and even called on a Sunday to deliver the news about my son getting signed in LA. A close friend of mine (a former NFL quarterback with experience and connections in the entertainment business) has been keeping in touch with me about what's going on with my son and he totally agrees with EVERY step Wings has taken to date!\r
\r
In summary, we are so grateful to Jake and Allie and the entire staff at Wings for all they have done and couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Honestly, Wings has been a Godsend! \r
