Summer Altice was born on December 23, 1979, in Fountain Valley, California, USA. Summer was named after Miss USA 1979, Summer Bartholomew, which foretells Altice’s future success as a cover girl and model.

Summer has one older sibling, sister Kari.

Summer Altice grew up in Southern California, went to Fountain Valley High School where she lettered all four years in the sport of volleyball. The athletic Summer had the perfect body type for volleyball (basically she has the perfect body!), standing at 5’10”.

Already strikingly beautiful, Summer began her modeling career during these years. In 1995, Summer won YM’s cover girl contest, and later signed with Elite modeling agency. This major modeling achievement would soon catapult Altice’s modeling career.
