.. on HIMSELF

Strengths: "I'm hardworking, creative, adventurous, intelligent, loyal and have a good sense of humor."

Weaknesses: "She’s about 5’6”, light eyes … just kidding. I’d have to say chocolate chips cookies. I can’t resist, especially if they are homemade."

Others may not see: "I’m really laid back and easygoing so unless you get to know me, you might not find out that I am also extremely intelligent."

I've been known to ... "get up before sunrise and go out for an early morning surf."

Interests: "I am a real active person, so I love the outdoors. My favorite hobbies are surfing, snowboarding and running. I also enjoy traveling, going to the movies, reading a good book and writing."  

Turn ons: "Stimulating conversation and a woman who keeps herself in shape."

Turn offs: "Conceitedness."

Special Talents: "X-Ray vision."

Charities: "I think that giving back to society is one of the noblest pursuits a person can undertake. As the VP of a fitness company before heading back to school, I was involved with many different charity and non-profit organizations. We sponsored numerous events in the Southern California area benefiting various organizations."

15 minutes of fame: "I was a series regular on a New Zealand television show called “The Strip,” had a reoccurring role on “Baywatch Hawaii,” and was featured in the movie “Pearl Harbor” as an Army pilot."  

Travels: "Travel is my true passion. I’ve traveled to fifteen different countries including New Zealand, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and most of Europe. I love seeing new places and learning about the people who live there. My next trip is either to Portugal or Brazil so I can put my Portuguese language classes to use."

Spirituality: "Though I’m not very religious, I do consider myself spiritual. I believe that God has a plan for all of us. I definitely believe in destiny."

Fashion sense: "I think I’ve got a pretty good eye for fashion and I love a woman with a sense of style. A girl who knows how to dress is extremely sexy."

Staying healthy: "I’ve been involved with sports and fitness for over 15 years and work out around 5 times per week. My workouts usually consist of hitting the gym 3-4 times per week combined with 2-3 days of cardio. Whenever possible I will get in an outdoor workout like surfing or hiking."

What touches my soul: "Random acts of kindness."  

... on WOMEN 

How a woman can get my attention: "The eyes … definitely the eyes. That’s always the first thing that I notice about a woman." 

Ideal woman: "I don’t know that I have an ideal woman, but there are definitely some characteristics that I look for in a woman such as intelligence, independence, sense of humor, adventurous spirit, charm, and class."

I can't resist a woman who ... "knows how to cook. I’m not very good at it, so I am always impressed by a woman who can prepare a meal. I love to eat out, but there is definitely something romantic about staying in for a candlelight dinner. And of course I don’t mind doing the dishes."

Most important quality in a woman: "Confidence. I love a woman who is confident in herself and has a very high self esteem."  

Ideal date: "First, I would surprise my girl by calling her and telling her that tonight I was going to take her out to her favorite restaurant. I would show up with flowers and then we would head to her favorite restaurant for a candlelight dinner (hopefully somewhere near the ocean). We would enjoy each other’s company and conversation over a nice glass of wine and then eat a delicious meal, only leaving enough room for a chocolate dessert. After dinner, I’d love to take a walk along the beach and maybe sit down on a blanket and look up at the stars. I’ll leave the rest up to your imagination…"

What makes me call a woman back after a first date: "Chemistry. For me it is either there or it isn’t. Usually, I can tell by the first date."  

I'd never date a woman who ... "hmmm … tough question. I guess I would never date a woman who didn’t like children."  

How I show I care: "Make her feel like she is the only woman on the planet. I love to surprise the woman that I am dating with little presents."

What makes a woman unforgettable: "Her smile. I’ve seen women who can light up an entire room just by smiling. It helps if she is smiling at me."

I wish women understood ... "you are never going to completely understand us, so don’t try. Just accept us."

One thing a woman has never done for me yet, but I would love it: "I’ve never been given a private strip tease and I think that it would be kind of fun."  

.. on RELATIONSHIPS  

Views on relationship/marriage: "I’m at the point in my life where I don’t want to get into a relationship unless there is a strong possibility of marriage. I only plan to get married once, so I am going to be extremely sure that it is with the right woman."

Top relationship keys: "Love, trust and respect."

A woman in a relationship with me can expect ... "a total commitment from me. Otherwise what’s the point?"
  
What I expect: "I expect love and honesty."  

When I'm in love, I ... "fall really hard. It’s only happened twice in my life so far."

What makes me feel close to a woman: "I know that I am close to a woman when we can communicate without even speaking. I can look into to her eyes and know what she is thinking and how she feels about me. It’s an awesome feeling."

Greatest relationship lesson: "People will forgive, but they will never forget."

What makes a woman marriage material: "I don’t think that there is any set formula.  With that being said, some things that I look for are strong family values, an education, personal maturity, and an easygoing nature."

... on SEX 

What makes sex good: "I can’t think of anything bad about sex, but it is most intense when two people really care about each other and there is an emotional bond as well as a physical bond."

I feel my sexiest when ... "I’m in the company of a beautiful woman."

Most sensual part of a woman's body: "Her neck."   

Sexiest thing a woman can wear in private: "A pair of boy-cut Victoria Secret panties and a tank top."  

Surefire way for a woman to seduce me: "High heels and lingerie works every time."

.. on LIFE

Making my mark: "I plan to make my mark on the world by starting an international non-profit, children’s fitness program. Our health is our most precious asset and it is being neglected from an early age in our society today."

Responsibility to society: "We all have a responsibility to society. I want to make this world a better place to live for our children."  

Valuable life lesson: "No one is ever going to hand you anything in life. You have to work for everything that you want, and the really good things are worth the work."

Three things I must do in this lifetime: "Walk on the Great Wall of China, snowboard in the Swiss Alps and raise a wonderful family."

Best advice received: "It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice."

Best advice I've given a woman: "Don’t date a guy for what he can give you or how much money he has, date him for the person that he is beneath all of the other things."

.. on HIS FAVORITE THINGS

Movie: "Pulp Fiction, Rocky, The Matrix, and Good Will Hunting."

TV Show: "The Office, Entourage, Amazing Race."

Book: "Anything by John Grisham. Islands in the Stream by Ernest Hemmingway is up there as well."

Music: "I like a lot of different things. Pearl Jam, Nirvana, STP and U2 are my long time favorites, but right now I enjoy Jack Johnson, Incubus, The Killers, and The Strokes."

Food: "Nothing can beat a really good Italian meal, but it is hard to find in LA. I love sushi and try to eat it at least twice per week."

.. final THOUGHTS

Wheels: "I’m a BMW type of guy."

Tattoos/piercings: "I don’t have any, but I think they can be very sexy on a woman in certain places."

Always in my refrigerator: "A gallon of milk and a carton of eggs. What can I say? I’m a health nut."

Hottest possession: "My Roger Clemens rookie baseball card and my surfboard."  

I'd change places for 24 hours with ... "President Bush … just to see how it feels to be the most powerful man in the world, but I don’t think I would want it for a minute longer than 24 hours."

I'd most like to hang out with ... "my best friends from college. We had an unbelievably great time together, but now we are scattered around the country."

Why I'm a great catch: "I am intelligent, talented, hardworking and fun which means that I am going to have a really successful life."  

Me in a word: "Loyal."
