With a side of jockstraps:
Drool-worthy straight man:
Kerry Degman
An in-demand model from Iowa, Kerry was a two-year undefeated wrestler in high school and a baseball player. He was recruited to play college baseball, but a knee injury halted his career in sports. Next up was a career in modeling. He never gave up dabbling in sports, however. The skateboard you sometimes see with Kerry in his shots? Not a prop. “My mom made me promise never to ride one, but I’ve done it since the 3rd grade. It’s a good way to keep a kid with ADD busy.”
His first major modeling shoot was with Bruce Weber for Abercrombie & Fitch. In his off time he golfs, longboards, plays with his dog and strums guitar. Kerry is also a country music singer with an album. “The Lake”:

The other main focus of Kerry’s attention is his adorable beabull (half beagle, half English bulldog). “It’s like having a child,” Kerry said of the 10-month old pup. “I have had Jackson his entire life, and he is the best thing that ever happened to me*. I never like being anywhere without him. And he was born in Iowa, just like me.” Midwesterners like to stick together.
*Kerry has since married and has a son named Wolfgang, so priorities have changed a bit. These days he makes his home in Tennessee, all the better to pursue his country music career.
So just kiss me...
