DiMarco's success proves pretty inspiring, especially for those challenged individuals who want to succeed in their respective endeavors.
The 6ft-3in hot guy calls his success in ANTM "pretty groundbreaking."
DiMarco's intense blue eyes, chiseled abs and consistent performance in the photo shoots, which included posing with live animals, as a doll and in the dark, all worked out well to make him land the top spot.
But it's not actually posing in front of the camera that he found really challenging, it's living with other models in the house, which he finds "pretty tough."
"The inability to use my language, American Sign Language, and the lack of communication, information access and the general connection to the world was difficult," he said.
But even if the experience proved burdensome to him, DiMarco persisted in the hopes of representing Deaf people in a positive light.
"I wanted to take advantage of the platform, not only to prove that I'm the best but also to educate and prove to the world what Deaf people are capable of," he says.
He wants his success to inspired individuals in the Deaf community.
"I hope that my win inspires the Deaf community to start pursuing their desired careers," he says. "There are so many talented Deaf people that the world needs and can benefit from."
After his ANTM success, Marco still wants to push through with his modeling career and even achieve greater heights.
"I want to continue to show my skills in the modeling world and entertainment industry," he says.
