Following the meteoric success of now super model and Utah native Ali Stephens, management agencies Elite, Pulse and X-Sport are opening an office at the $500 MM Market Station development in SoSaLa... South Salt Lake, Utah. According to Neal Hamil, Elite's Director of North America, "I chose Salt Lake City for Elite's first scouting office because there is something magical about the region... something undeniable about the region as producing phenomenal beauties." Elite is partnering with Pulse Management which discovered Stephens in the Salt Lake area.
