Occupation: Pharmaceutical Sales Representative. I recently separated from the Army after 8 years as a UH-60 Blackhawk Pilot. I wanted to be an airline pilot. I still love flying and I want to do that on the side but I wanted a job where I can be settled in one place for a little while.  

Army man: I was a captain in the army. I was in Korea for a year, it's a very active border. My unit was in charge of flying the United Nations inspectors along the border, we flew President Clinton around and the 49er cheerleaders. 

Income: $100,000 - $150,000 

... on HIMSELF

Best qualities: "I'm outgoing, ambitious, easygoing and well grounded. On the weekends, I like to go out and have fun. I have a really close-knit of friends. I'm pretty laid-back. I don't get upset very easily. I usually laugh a lot of stuff off, because I think people take life too seriously and you just got to have fun, you only live once, you got to enjoy life and you can't let all the little things bother you. "

Weaknesses: "Sometimes I quickly lose interest in things once I master them."

Others may not see: "Most of my friends would not know that I am a romantic at heart. Growing up with five sisters, I think I'm more of a romantic than a lot of guys. I want the ideal relationship where you meet someone and you fall head over heels in love and it's just all about that person. You're kind of stupid in love about that person and everything's perfect, then you get married and have some kids. Most of my guy friends don't see me taking a girl out to dinner, buying her flowers or wanting to take walks on the beach in the evening and talk about our future. I'm a very affectionate person when I'm around a person I really like. I like taking a bubble bath with a person I'm with, or cooking them dinner, going wine tasting on the weekends."

I've been known to ... "grab a flight to Vegas or Atlanta on a Friday to hang out with some friends or family. Being in the military, I have friends scattered all over the place."

Interests: "Real Estate investor for 9 years, traveling, magic, dancing, scuba diving (certified) and flying."

Turn-ons: "Athleticism, playfulness and outgoingness. I'm very active so I like going out and doing a lot of active things. I like being outdoors, running, playing sports. Going to new places, traveling around, exploring new cities. I think that's from growing up in the military because every 3-4 years, you're hopping around to a new city."

Turn-offs: "An unhealthy lifestyle, no sense of humor and pretentiousness. Being around somebody who is very quiet kind of bothers me. When people don't leave a voice message because they assume you see that they've called and you're going to call them back. People who don't do what they say. When I say I'm going to do something, I do my best to do it, no matter what. You run across a lot of people in life who always say they're going to do this and that but they never doing anything. That's a pet peeve of mine. I've had friends like that and I've dated people like that and they always have the intentions of doing things but they never just go out and do it."

Special Talents: "I am fluent in German, rated as a pilot in numerous helicopters and fixed wing aircraft."

And the winner is ... "Army Aviator Badge, National Service Ribbon, Army Commendation Medal (three times), Overseas Duty Ribbon, Captain in the US Army."

Charities: "I was the combined Federal Campaign coordinator for several years while in the Army. The campaign raises money for hundreds of charitable organizations around the world."

15 minutes of fame: "I was on national TV with President George Bush when he came to visit the soldiers at Fort Hood, TX prior to the beginning of the Iraqi War."

Travels: "I grew up in Germany and while in the military lived in Korea, Honduras and numerous places in the US I also recently returned from a trip through France, Italy and Greece."

Spirituality: "I was raised Catholic but could probably go to church more often."

Fashion sense: "Shoes, socks and belt should match. Other than that I like easy fit blue jeans and Calvin Klein shirts."

Staying healthy: "I ran in the  Chicago Marathon last October. I do my best to involve my significant other in every day activities like eating healthy, going to the gym, playing basketball or going for a run."

What touches my soul: "I'm very patriotic. I think that's from growing up overseas. It really bothers me when Americans complain about this country as much as they do because I think most Americans have no idea how good they have it here because they've never been outside of this country to see how other people live in some other countries. Growing up overseas, I think you're prouder to be an American. People really respect Americans and we're one of the only countries in the world that everybody wants to come and visit and be an American. Regardless of what you see in the news or what people say, the majority of the world really respects America. When we go to these countries when I was in the military, 90% of the population lives in absolute poverty. The people literally are just worried if they're going to have food that night. Our jobless problem here is nothing compared to some of the countries in the world. They don't have running water, maybe some electricity. They're literally still taking baths in rivers or they just don't have any freedom. They can't live the life they want to live. Being an American and being part of this country is one of the things I'm really passionate about. I still get goose bumps when I hear the national anthem to this day." 

... on WOMEN 

I first notice ... "if she's a cute dresser. I like a girl who is not afraid to show her personality with what she wears." 

Attention-getters: "If she's with a group of girls, I'm more attracted to the playful,  goofier one who is up, joking around and not really worried about making a fool of herself, just having a good time, letting loose, just being herself. You can tell she has a sense of humor, outgoing. You can go up and talk to her and kid with her and it's not a big deal for her."

Ideal woman: "I like women who are very feminine but I don't like girls who can't fend for themselves. I like a girl who can mow the lawn, who can go out and do things with me and can take care of themselves. They can change a lock on a door, they can figure things out and they don't really need a guy there for them but having a guy around is great but if they didn't have a guy there, they could change their own oil if they wanted to. I really think you only live once and you gotta enjoy your life. If you go through life, being miserable or being sad or not having a good time and really enjoying yourself, then you're wasting your life away. I like a girl whose outgoing, talkative, very easygoing, not too uptight, not pretentious, doesn't need to buy all her clothes at 5th Avenue."

I can't resist a woman who ... "is self confident but not cocky and does not have to flaunt it. I love the strong but playful personality that Cameron Diaz often plays in movies like `Something about Mary' and `Charles Angels.'"

Most important quality in a woman: "Honesty and trustworthiness. Once a person breaks another person's trust, then there's no going back ever."

Ideal date: "I currently live in Hermosa Beach, California so my ideal date is to walk down to the famous Comedy and Magic Club at the Hermosa Beach Pier. After catching a comedy show, we can grab a bottle of wine and a blanket and sit on the beach under the stars. I like a girl who is easygoing and has a sense of humor but she must also know when to be serious and romantic. This date has a little of both."

I'd call a woman back after a first date: "I think you either have the chemistry or you don't. If it was really easy for me to talk to that person and the conversation flowed naturally and I felt really comfortable with that person, and it didn't seem like it was a first date, you just kind of clicked right away." 

I would never date a woman who ... "spends money frivolously and is more worried about the name/price of things than how much they cost."

How I show I care: "When I really like a woman I will leave short romantic notes on her car and randomly surprise her with flowers or small playful gifts."

What makes a woman unforgettable: "If we both have that physical and mental connection at the same time."

What I wish women understood more about men: "I think it goes for both men and women. A man is attracted to the girl that he meets. So once you're in a relationship with that person, you shouldn't change just because you feel comfortable. I think a lot of people change who they are once they're in a relationship or they start to dress differently, act or carry themselves or let themselves go. I think men especially, they're attracted to the person they meet. You should at least try to be who you really are when you first meet somebody because if not, I think that's when men start to stray."

... on RELATIONSHIPS 

On marriage: "I'm a long term relationship guy when I find someone I really like but it takes me a long time to get into a relationship. I think people jump into relationships too quickly. I think you should date around until you find somebody that you are really click with on all levels. I like being with one person that I can share the everyday things with. I really want to be married and have kids. I want to find that perfect person for me. The one that I click with on all the different levels and that one I see my children with." 

Top relationship keys: "Communication and trust are the most important things in a relationship. I believe that once the trust is broken it can never fully be restored."

A woman in a relationship with me can expect ... "the same loyalty than as if we were married. I think that if you are single then you should be single but when you have committed yourself to someone, then you should be loyal."

I expect ... "to be the most important person in her life. I don't expect this but I do want to do the everyday things together like cooking, grocery shopping, going to the gym or running to the mall."

When I'm in love, I ... "lose focus on a lot of other things. I can become like really in love and then other things start to not be as important anymore and being with that person becomes more important. That's the kind of love that I think that you should have. You should have that love that that person then becomes the most important thing to you."

What makes me feel close to a woman: "I feel close to a woman when I am the first person she calls when she is feeling sad, something has happened or when she simply needs some advice."

Greatest relationship lesson: "Never break a person's trust. I've had my trust broken. I think if you're really going to be serious about somebody, you should never start to lie. When I'm in a relationship, I'm definitely loyal. If you're single, you should be single, and have fun. But I think once you've committed to somebody, you should be committed to them."

What makes a woman marriage material: "The women I marry will have to pass my cabin test. The cabin test is very simple. If we had to live in a cabin for the rest of our lives with no TV, radio or other people to interact with would I be happy."

... on SEX 

I feel my sexiest when ... "I am in my military uniform."

Most sensual part of a woman's body: "The spot on her hip where the hip bone slightly pokes out. Whether in a pair of low cut jeans or sexy bikini, this spot always catches my attention."

Sexiest thing a woman can wear in private: "A pair of my boxers. There is nothing sexier than to see the woman I desire walk around my house in only a pair of my boxers."

Surefire way to seduce me: "While we are in public, she whispers into my ear what she will do to me in private or what she would like me do to her."

... on LIFE

Making my mark: "Once I have reached my financial goals and established a good life for my family, I will use my wealth to help the less fortunate. I would like to donate money to foundations that help abused or homeless children here in the US and around the world."

Responsibility to society: "After spending 8 years in the Army as an Officer, I have realized that it is our responsibility to protect this great country and all the values/freedoms so many have died for."

Valuable life lesson: "Family is the most important thing in life. Be good to your family and treat them like they are the most important people on earth. They will they will then always be there for you when life throws you those unexpected curves."

Three things I must do in this lifetime: "I have numerous goals for my life. I have accomplished a few already and it will take some time to complete the rest. Getting my Bachelors Degree and becoming a Military Helicopter pilot were two of my biggest goals that I have accomplished so far. The top remaining goals are to become financially independent so my family will never have to worry about money again, eventually travel to every country in the world and to raise a family."

Best advice received: "Follow your gut instinct. I think most of us usually know the right thing to do or the truth in a matter but we do not trust our gut enough. I have found that it is right 99.9% of the time."

Best advice I've given a woman: "Just for anybody is just to follow your gut instincts. Especially when it comes to the opposite sex. I think people know right away how a person is or what's going on. If people really followed their gut instinct in life, it would save them a lot of heartache and a lot of problems but sometimes it's hard to take that gut instinct and go with it."

... on HIS FAVORITE THINGS

Movie: "Tommy Boy and Face Off."

TV Show: "Seinfeld, Fear Factor and The Amazing Race."

Book: "Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People."

Music: "A little of everything from Lynard Skynard, Elton John to Snoop Dog."

Food: "Butter pecan ice cream."

... final THOUGHTS

Pets: "A cat named Chopper, a big orange and white tabby, which is not always easy to explain to my guy friends. I've had him for 7 years. I got him when I was in Korea." 

Always in my refrigerator: "As with most bachelors, some light beer, milk and leftover take out food."

I would change places for 24 hours with ... "one of the gold medalists in the recent Olympics. To win a gold medal representing your country at something you love and have worked on for so many years has got to be the world's best feeling."

I would most like to hang out with ... "my family. All of my family lives on the East coast and I know live in California. I don't get many opportunities to hang out with them."

Celeb I'd love to take on a date: "Alisa Milano. I have had a crush on her since watching her on Who's The Boss. She's kind of like the girl next door that you had a crush on as a little kid. The one that you never told you had a crush on but you always did. She seems like she has a very spunky personality and I think she's a really cute girl."

Why I'm such a great catch: "I was the only boy in a family of 6 kids. Being raised by six women has taught me more about women than most men will ever know. I am also competitive, ambitious and will not accept failure in life. I am also down to earth and easygoing enough to find the proper balance between work and play."

Me in a word: "Dreamer."
