Favorite first date outfit (for both you and the girl)?
"Upscale casual for me: nce pants, boots or dress shoes, nice V-neck shirt with either a blazer, jacket, or light trench coat, usually accompanied by a watch. For her: Whatever she’s most comfortable/confident in. Sexy but somewhat modest as well. I also dig gals that can dress down, borderline tomboy style. Chuck Taylors, leather jacket, etc."

What are your biggest turn-on/offs?
"Smoking, lack of passion."

What’s the biggest problem with dating in NYC?
"Haven’t crossed any yet."

What’s the nicest thing you’ve ever done for someone?
"I’ve been blessed to be a part of building houses in Mexico for families in need, have done inner city work in Chicago, and am currently raising money for the SOMALY MAM Foundation and will be running across Cambodia for the cause."


What’s one lesson you’ve learned about love so far?
"Balance is the key! It's a two-way street — allow each other freedom to follow dreams and support them in that pursuit."
