<h2 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading">Who is Max Strong? </h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">Die-hard <em>Siesta Key</em> fans – or just avid social media sleuths – may already recognize Max, as he has appeared in a couple episodes of the reality show. He&#8217;s also been featured on Kelsey Owens&#8217; social media page, from tags to comments on her photos. It goes both ways though – Kelsey began regularly liking Max&#8217;s photos in January 2020. She even tagged him in a couple pictures of herself holding animals from the wildlife preserve. You can check out one of those photos below: </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">1) That brings us to our first fun fact: Max loves animals. According to his IG highlight, he got started in animal care and wildlife preservation by volunteering. While it&#8217;s not his full-time job yet, he hopes one day it can be! </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">2) Something else you might not know about Max is he&#8217;s originally from Kentucky. He attended the University of Kentucky, and was a member of the football team. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">3) One thing you might not know about Max? <a href="https://www.aseaofblue.com/2016/12/19/13912574/max-strong-instagram-tigers-kentucky-wildcats-football" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">He wants to own a tiger</a>! The only actual pets he owns are dart frogs, which he also had during his university years. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">4) While animals are his passion, he did graduate with a management and finance degree, which he&#8217;s since put to use working at a car dealership. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">5) One other thing that fans may have caught on to? Kelsey mentioned Max&#8217;s first appearance on <em>Siesta Key</em> on her Twitter! She tweeted about &#8220;the hot guy&#8221; next to her in a scene – and it was Max, who&#8217;s one of Sam Logan&#8217;s friends! Kelsey, along with Juliette (who&#8217;s dating Sam) even went with their guys and their friends to ski during the winter! You can see the cute tweet shoutout below: </p>
