Poydenis was first discovered by a modeling agent named Steve Wimbley on Spring Break his senior year of college. At the time, he was playing football, drinking beer, and having a great time and was not ready yet to begin a career. Steve asked him to call him when he was done with college.

Besides modeling, Poydenis also dreams to be an actor. If he could emulate any actors career it would be along the lines of Brad Pitt or Luke Wilson. His favorite movies are The Royal Tenebaums, Fight Club, Bottle Rocket, and Snatch.
