Representing the State of Oregon is Erik Thornally—a man who embodies resilience, grit, and transformation. While some may recognize him from Netflix’s Temptation Island, Erik’s journey is far from a highlight reel. At 28, he’s a fitness enthusiast, entrepreneur, and digital creator who built his path the hard way. From four failed businesses to countless rejections, Erik knows what it means to fall—and to rise stronger. With nothing but determination, a love for the gym, and a relentless work ethic, he rebuilt his life piece by piece. Today, he steps onto the Mister USA 2025 stage not to seek validation, but to be a voice for the men still climbing, still hustling, still believing in what’s possible. Erik Thornally is here to prove that you don’t need a perfect start to create an extraordinary life!
