What do you look for in a significant other?
"A kind, down-to-earth, carefree, but opinionated girl who loves to laugh — who can let go and isn't afraid to try new things. A girl that is intelligent enough to know what is really going on beyond gossip. And that also loves animals, good company, and is interested in traveling and saving the world together."

In your opinion, what makes the perfect first date?
"The chemistry. Sometimes it takes a little warming up, so doing something active where we can enjoy ourselves, and not take it too seriously. A nice day hike, beautiful view, a picnic lunch, a bottle of wine, and a great conversation seems just about perfect to me."

List three words that describe your personality.
"Compassionate, humorous, and creative."

Do you have any dating horror stories?
"I was once set up on a blind date where the girl spoke to me in a creepy baby voice almost the entire time. Needless to say, I was ready to go home for my bottle and nap."
