What are you looking for in a mate? Someone who is complete on their own, wants me to be complete on my own and sees a relationship as an enhancement of what we have as individuals. Someone with a strong thirst for life, keeps me on my toes, challenges and fascinates me and is reliable. Oh, and has Elite airline status. (Kidding … kinda.)
Biggest turn-off: Self-obsession, lack of compassion, inauthenticity
Biggest turn-on: Confident but humble, funny but not attention-driven, stubble
Hobbies: Fitness, travel, food/wine, college sports, live music, pizza
Describe your ideal first date: Discovering we have a genuine connection through engaging conversation, frequent laughter and a healthy dose of bedroom eyes.

Would you date someone whose political views differ from yours? yes
Celebrity crush: Scott Eastwood
One obscure fact about yourself: I have a tendency to randomly see celebrities while on vacation.
