Well done by all.
Send him to Northern California as soon as you can.
October 16, 2023 1:38pm This is an exceptional portrait of your handsome, remarkably fit, subject. The combination of his excellent pose with your fine composition, framing, and cropping -- make this a superb portrait. I love the use of his right hand as a framing element, and his left arm to create leading lines. Your model also has a powerful expression with his eyes looking directly into the camera lens. In my opinion, your camera position (at about the subject's eye level) was perfect. Your lighting looks very good, and the subject pops nicely against your well-chosen grey background.
Congratulations to all involved!

September 03, 2023 8:47am Terrific. Paradoxical. I have just discovered that Shakespeare's word for gay was "paradox" -- a gay person is and is not. He used the words to describe Achilles and Patroclus. Your model, here, has a classical beauty. Apollo? Antinous? This portrait clashes experience and innocence.
