JINO

Jino teaches us a very important lesson, which is: Things aren’t always what they seem. Take, for example, Jino’s pets. They’re named Hamster and Batman, and by those names, you would not assume that the former is a ball python and the latter is a cat. Furthermore, you may not assume that Jino considers Hamster and Batman to be his babies. But they are, in fact, his snake and cat babies, respectively. Jino is a little bit like this lesson himself. On the outside: a polished model, actor, and fitness instructor. But what built what you see are 15+ years of boxing experience, the lessons and leadership that come with being an older brother of five siblings, four years of hitting the books at the University of Houston, and eight years of teaching fitness classes throughout New York City. With Jino, things aren’t always what they seem—they’re more.
