-Hello James,  I am really flattered  to interview you,  just to start it off, please  give me some background information such as hometown, family, education and so on.Hometown: Elk Grove, CA. I grew up on a conservative hippy farm in the country.
Family: Six sisters and a Twin brother. Dad was a surfer from Newport Beach the mom that raised me is Filipino and a nurse.
Education: I keep changing my major. I was a Power Plant operator in the Navy for 4 years. I am pretty much done with a degree in Electrical Engineering and a degree in Marketing. I recently switched gears to peruse healthcare. I enjoy school and will continue to go as long I have the means to do so.
-Let's look back at how you started modeling, tell me about how you got discovered.I was in the US Navy stationed on Pearl Harbor, HI. I was walking the beach in Honolulu and a scout for Abercrombie & Fitch approached my bro' and I to possibly shoot for A&F. Next thing you know, we are shooting with Bruce Weber and Abercrombie. I did get my first modeling job; it was Abercrombie & Fitch in Hawaii.

-What kind of assignments, as a model, do you prefer?
Modeling assignments that I prefer are the creative abstract ones. Not so much the commercial. I like to really express myself in body and emotion and have it professionally and creatively portrayed through the lens of a photographer who can envision the shot and feel the emotion. The end result of the artistry on display needs to be breathtaking.                        

-Please share with me some of your main assignments so far...
My main modeling assignments thus far are A & F and much of the work I have done in various Men's fashion mags.

-Tell me what  do you consider to be your best achievement so far?
 My greatest achievement thus far in the modeling world is learning the system to a certain degree. I can walk into any job and nail it without hesitation. I have learned how to place my own body and emotion in any setting. I have also learned to study the photographer's style and put myself in their head while shooting to obtain a desired result on all ends.

-Would you accept a modeling assignment that requires some nudity? I would accept a modeling job that has nudity and I have.


-Tell me about your professional plans: apart from modeling, what else would you like to pursue?
Modeling is honestly just a small piece of my life. I am far more concerned with education and personal development through experience and gained knowledge. I am an entrepreneur launching a website very soon called "ClippingerTwins.com". This website will give fans of the Clippinger Twins a personal look into our lives with pictures, videos, contests, personal biographies, and more. I am also putting out a "Clippinger Twins"calendar. The calendar showcases the twins as sexy cowboy brothers interacting with the ranch and each other.
-Turning to some personal questions, how would you describe yourself? If you had to use few words to describe your personality, which adjectives would you use?
 
I am an objective psychoanalytical business mind who is passionate about life and the understanding of the world and people in it.

-What's like to be a twin? What are the main advantages and disadvantages of being twins?
To be a twin is not like many people assume. My brother and I are defiantly identical twins but we are polar opposites in personality. If you only met us, you would see. It was a lot of fun growing up as a twin but it has its challenges too.

-How do you usually spend your spare time and what is the meaning of fun and  have a good time for you?For fun, I like to play and watch sports. I play baseball, basketball, football, golf, swim, and sprint. I also like to write horror stories and rhyming poetry. I enjoy school and meeting new people. I also like to spend time with my family and friends, laugh, drink, and get HI. I like to make it a point to travel the world. I like to take on the culture and atmosphere of a new place. There is a sense of growth taken in from each new place discovered.

-Thanks James for taking the time to reply to my questions, it was a gift to me and my readers!
