Albert Reed

Albert Reed is a model who became popular in 2004 after posing in an ad campaign for Abercrombie & Fitch. Reed also showed off his dancing skills on the hit reality show Dancing With The Stars.

Growing up in a middle class neighborhood in Miami, Reed's family decided to move to Vero Beach in 1998 where Reed found himself involved in the surfing culture, which led him to riding the waves competitively. After a series of contests, Reed met a friend who asked him to accompany her to visit a Miami modeling agency. Quickly the agency noticed Reed's potential and he was signed. He began modeling part time while finishing school and by 2003, Reed found himself modeling in Europe and was soon called back to the U.S. for a Fall shoot with the popular clothing line Abercrombie & Fitch.
