of thirteen, Reed moved with his family about 150 miles (240 km) north
of their middle class Miami neighborhood to Vero Beach, which Reed
refers to as "a little surfer town located on the east coast of
central Florida." The family's proximity to the beach allowed Reed to
surf just about every day. He quickly integrated himself into the
local surf culture and adopted a live-to-surf casual lifestyle.In
2000, Reed began attending Vero Beach High School. While he was in the
10th grade, Reed's parents, who Reed describes as hippies,
divorced.During a trip down to Miami, Reed's modeling potential was
discovered accidentally while accompanying a friend to her modeling
agency, Karin Models. Although his friend was not signed, Karin Models
immediately signed Reed, who then began modeling part-time while he
finished high school.
