What are you looking for in a mate? I’m looking for someone who has an incredible capacity to love on a deeply spiritual level. My ideal partner is adventurous, ambitious, humble, patient, forgiving, trusting and trustworthy.
Biggest turn-off: Impatience, arrogance and men who are self absorbed and inconsiderate of others.
Biggest turn-on: A man who pays attention to detail and knows how to turn the most mundane moments into magical moments.
Hobbies: I love exercise and fitness, travel and the arts. I spend a lot of time at comedy clubs and small concert venues around the city.
Describe your ideal first date: A really good stand-up comedy show, you can learn a lot about a person from watching the things he laughs at. And I am more attractive when I smile and laugh.
Favorite TV show: “Six Feet Under” is the greatest TV show of all time.
Celebrity crush: Odell Beckham Jr.
One obscure fact about yourself: I really want to be a farmer.
