Charities: "Former President of Tamarama board riders club, Tamarama surf life saving club. We go to the Children's Hospital and give out Easter eggs at Easter to all the other kids."

Travels: "I've been around the world once through America, Asia, Canada, Western Europe, Northern and southern Africa, Maldives, extensive travels within Indonesia. Lived in Spain for a year."

Fashion sense: "Superb. Or at least I think so. I do care about what I wear and how I look, but I'm not over the top. I'm not a metrosexual."

Staying healthy: "I eat well, get plenty of activity and enjoy life."

What touches my soul: "The ocean, a summer sunrise over the water. I love being at the beach early in the morning when the sun's coming out, it makes you really appreciate life. It's pretty good to be sitting out in the water by yourself, surfing, and having the sun come out."
... on WOMEN 

I first notice ... "her eyes. A girl has to have good eyes or I really don't feel attracted. That's always something I notice straight away. Some girls just have that look."

Attention-getters: "A warm smile. But if you really want to get my attention, it  would be great to approach me."

Ideal woman: "She must be funny, outgoing, athletic, honest, loyal and intelligent."

I can't resist a woman who ... "speaks her mind. I don't want a ditzy blonde sitting next to me who doesn't want to say anything and who doesn't have her own opinion. I want someone I can talk to and have a proper conversation with."

Most important quality in a woman: "Honesty. I just don't think a relationship works with out it."

Ideal date: "An early evening drink followed by a walk along the beach and a romantic evening beachside with a nice bottle of Australian wine."

I'd call a woman back after a first date ... "if it felt right and comfortable. Basically if we got on and it was a warm and humorous encounter. I can't stand a girl who doesn't have a sense of humor."

I would never date a woman who ... "was too conceited."

How I show I care: "I like to give a lot of affection and cuddles and tell her how much she means to me. I tell everyone how much I love them. Just ask anyone I work with."

What makes a woman unforgettable: "Her strength of presence, her confidence and her touch. When you're with a girl who means a lot to you, their touch is just different."

I wish women understood ... "guys need time with male friends too."

One thing a woman has never done for me yet: "Whisk me away on a romantic surprise weekend. I've never had that happen, it'd be nice."
... on RELATIONSHIPS 

On relationships: "I'm usually a long term relationship guy. A relationship is very important in my life. That's your ultimate goal in life, isn't it, to meet the right person to love and to share your life with them. I definitely want kids one day." 

Top relationship keys: "Honesty, communication, love."

A woman in a relationship with me can expect ... "an honest, reliable and caring partner. She can expect a good father, a good husband and a good guy all around. I can cook, I can fix things, so she'll get a useful partner as well as a loving and caring partner. And I can carry her out of a burning building or rescue her in the surf."

What I expect: "Honesty, love and an ability to laugh even when I am not all 
that funny." 

When I'm in love, I ... "am full of life and possibly a little annoying to those 
around me. I tell everyone around me that I'm in love."

What makes me feel close to a woman: "Knowledge of one another, similar 
interests."

Greatest relationship lesson: "Be honest with yourself and your partner." 

What makes a woman marriage material: "Total compatibility. Just feeling totally at peace with them, knowing that you can say or do anything and that they're you're soul mate."

... on SEX 

What makes sex good: "Chemistry. When it's there, sex is sooo good."

I feel my sexiest when ... "I have had a good day on the beach and feel relaxed 
and confident."

Most sensual part of a woman's body: "The back part of her neck, definitely her nape."

Sexiest thing a woman can wear in private: "Sexy yet sophisticated lingerie. I'm right into those little lacy boy shorts, they're great. Black or turquoise is nice."

Surefire way to seduce me: "Tempt me with a secluded weekend away of sun fun and romance."

... on LIFE
 
Making my mark: "Every time I save a life I believe I'm making a pretty big mark on the world. It's just an exhilarating feeling. After it's all happened, you realize that guy's now alive because of what you just did. If we weren't there, that guy would be dead. You know that there's 50,000 people on the beach down here and they're basically relying on you to look after them. And at the end of the day, when you have, you've done your job and you've done it well."
 
Responsibility to society: "Give back more than I take."

Valuable life lesson: "There is a lot to enjoy so get as much out of it as you 
can."

I must ... "1. Meet the girl I will spend the rest of my life and have children with, 2. Travel to Africa to meet the children my friends and I sponsor, 3. Cross Australia East to West, off-road on motor bikes with two of my good mates. It's quite a treacherous ride to go off road all the way across Australia 4,000 km."

Best advice received: "Treat others the way you would like to be treated 
yourself."

Best advice I've given a woman: "Have a go, don't be so prissy."

... on HIS FAVORITE THINGS 

Movie: "Starsky and Hutch, Top Gun."

TV Show: "Seinfeld, Mash."

Book: "Lord of the Rings."

Music: "Sublime."

Food: "Italian."

... final THOUGHTS 

Always in my refrigerator: "Good bottle of white wine, yogurt and a block of chocolate."

Hottest possession: "My car, 2005 SS Commodore."

I would change places for 24 hours with ... "Andy Irons, 3 times world surfing champion. I'd love to be able to surf like that for a day."

I would most like to hang out with ... "Eric Bana. He's a Hollywood star but he just seems like a good bloke and he's a very funny bloke."

Celeb I'd love to take on a date: "Megan Gale (Australian model) because she is drop dead gorgeous, lives down the road from me and enjoys my beach as much as I do and she seems like a lovely girl. I like Charlise Theron. She's nice and strikingly beautiful."

Why I'm such a great catch: "Because I'm an honest, loyal outgoing guy who knows how to have fun and does not take life TOO seriously." 

Me in a word: "Loveable."
