Forget the Loaded Potato Skins. Max Engling was surely the best thing to come out of an Indianapolis TGI Friday’s, where he was waiting tables when a diner with ties to the modeling industry discovered him.
That’s right — Engling, a staff assistant for the House Administration Committee, is a ringer. He modeled for three years before quitting in 2011 to pursue a career in politics. During that time he could be seen in print-ad campaigns for Kohl’s, Carson Pirie Scott, Sears and American Crew, among others, and he also did a commercial for Subway.
In the end, Engling liked the money but felt unfulfilled by the work. He had earned a political science degree from Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis and decided it was time to use it.
“You felt like you weren’t creating anything,” he says of modeling. “Your time wasn’t necessarily going to a good cause.”
But Engling had a cache of altruistic works going into the beauty industry. He took time off between high school and college to volunteer in South Africa and Mozambique, working in AIDS orphanages and building schools. He’s also spent three weeks helping out in an orphanage and safe house in Kiev, Ukraine.
Upon arriving in Washington in February 2011, Engling quickly secured a paid internship on the committee and was promoted to staff assistant three months later. He now helps run the congressional internship program for individuals with intellectual disabilities, one of his most gratifying duties.
Engling’s days are long. After leaving Capitol Hill, he heads to Ruth’s Chris Steak House, where both he and his wife, Kelcey, wait tables. This leaves little time for workouts, but he tries to get to the gym once or twice a week. Otherwise Engling likes to spend his free time traveling around the region with his wife to check out Mount Vernon, Monticello and other historical sites; fishing; playing basketball; and reading.

Kourtney? Kim? No, it’s Carolyn. She may look like a Kardashian — and she has a similarly tongue-twisting last name (it’s uh-MEER-pash-aye-ee) — but this special assistant to Rep. Randy Forbes (R-Va.) is no socialite.
“I’d much rather be sitting at home in sweatpants, hanging out,” Amirpashaie says, explaining that she doesn’t go to many of the receptions and social gatherings so common on Capitol Hill.
But that doesn’t stop people from telling her she looks like a certain reality-television star. Just recently, she was helping her fiancé pick out his tuxedo for their August wedding when one of the store’s clerks told her she looked like a Kardashian sister.
“I’m just like, ‘Thanks?’ I guess it’s the Middle Eastern thing.”
Amirpashaie’s father was born in Tehran, Iran, and met her mother, a central-Pennsylvania native, while the two were studying for graduate degrees at Thunderbird School of Global Management in Arizona. Her family also teases her about the resemblance to the Kardashian clan.
She loves them for it, though, and for their many other differences. Amirpashaie and her mother are conservative, while her dad and older sister, Kathryn, are liberal. Although she prefers a calm, politics-free family meal, Amirpashaie credits the ongoing dialogue and diversity of thought for making her who she is.
“[My parents] pushed my sister and me to be our own people and do what we wanted,” she says.
As it turned out, both girls fell in love with soccer and ended up competing against each other at rival colleges, Carolyn at St. Mary’s College of Maryland and Kathryn at University of Mary Washington. When their teams would go head to head, their father would sit in the middle of the stands. Amirpashaie now plays in two adult leagues, and her father still attends every game.
She’ll be suspending play soon, though, for her wedding next month at a Virginia vineyard.

Kristen Callaway is a Tallahassee girl with a taste for the cosmopolitan. She grew up playing soccer in Florida’s state capital, which she says feels a lot more like southern Georgia, and even went to church with Bobby Bowden, Florida State University’s legendary football coach.
These days Callaway, a legislative assistant to Rep. Steve Southerland (R-Fla.), likes to visit Manhattan on the weekend to stroll through Central Park or go clubbing in the Meatpacking District with her boyfriend of five years. Her dream is to live in London for a year or two. She studied there for a semester in college and says it feels safer and cleaner than the Big Apple.
She lives in southeast Washington, a few blocks from the Nationals’ ballpark. Callaway likes to invite friends over to go to games but wouldn’t call herself a baseball fan.
“Who’s the guy who’s 19?” she says when asked about her favorite player.
Kristen grew up Southern Baptist and says religion still has a big influence on her life.
“Faith is what motivated me to get into politics,” she says. She’s happy to work for a boss who she says cares about the poor, noting that the congressman is part of a conservative anti-poverty initiative with the Heritage Foundation.
In her free time she likes to hang out with friends and shop, the latter “probably more than I should,” she says with a laugh.
Her dad is a longtime transportation lobbyist who worked for former Rep. Clay Shaw (R-Fla.), and she’s following in his footsteps by handling transportation issues as part of her portfolio.
She’s looking forward to getting away to Europe during the August recess. Her boyfriend surprised her by planning a weeklong trip to Spain and Italy, stopping at Valencia, Florence, Rome and Corsica.
“I’m so thrilled!” she says.
She’s also thrilled that Congress finally struck a deal on the transportation authorization bill and her work hours can return to normal.
