Driven
with an unmeasured amount of determination and commitment, 22-year-old
bay area resident KOOSHA is a unique mix of brains
and muscle. A graduate of the University of California, Davis, Koosha
garnered a bachelor's degree in the ultra-competitive field of electrical
engineering at the age of 21, all the while continuing his passion
of natural bodybuilding (he's been training in earnest since he
was 18 and has never never used any steroid or pro-hormone), one
of the most difficult and demanding sports around.
Koosha
currently works full time as a Project Engineer at an electrical
engineering firm, performing engineering design and services - which
he loves - for some of the biggest companies across California.
On the side, Koosha trains for natural bodybuilding/fitness modeling
competitions. He began fitness modeling in 2006 and has been so
successful, it has led to a virtual second career. He has worked
with many great photographers across California and is slated to
be published in an upcoming issue of the prominent nationwide magazine,
"Exercise for Men Only," as well as a few other publications.
In an attempt to branch out and pursue other such mainstream work,
he is trying to get signed by the most premiere fitness modeling
agency in America, and become one of the first and youngest recognized
Persian fitness models.
Despite
a hectic schedule, Koosha is very down to earth and hasn't forgotten
where he came from: he was born in Shiraz, Iran, and is very proud
to be Persian. And
he maintains a very close relationship with his sister, previous
NYLA Hottie of the Week Storm.

Girl Hotties of the Week:
Mahsheed:
Odds
Are, 25-year-old Las Vegas hottie Mahsheed - younger
sister of DJ extraordinaire Faarsheed - has more going for her than
you and all of your boys combined. Gentleman, meet Las Vegas’
hottest super realtor.
Shabnam:
Los Angeles resident Shabnam gives new meaning
to the term thorough: she has been an official cheerleader for four
Bay Area professional sports teams, including most recently, the
Oakland Raiders. Now, she's taking off the pompons and hoping to
parlay her swift dance movies and industry connections into a singing
career.
Storm:
The
Persian Princess of MySpace, Storm, has quite a
loyal following. Don't ya wish your girlfriend...
Samantha:
Miss Universe Canada runner-up Samantha
Tajik doesn't need a crown to represent beautiful Iranian
women worldwide. It's not like you'd be looking to see what's on
top of her head anyway.
Shaghayegh:
Whether
it’s movies, television, modeling – heck, even a solo
Persian music album – it seems like Los Angeles resident Shaghayegh
can do it all. But will you have to go through Kamran (and maybe
Hooman) to get to this "Goddess of Persia?"
Sanaz:
She's
won the Miss Hawaiian Tropic swimsuit competition and hosted the
world famous Naked News. Meet 24-year-old Toronto resident
Sanaz, a Libra goddess with a knack for perfection. |
