What do you like to do for fun? Lacrosse, obstacle racing, snowboarding, fishing, and going to the gym. Other than that, really anything that I haven’t done before that keeps me feeling alive or keeps my body in top physical condition.

What is your type of girl? I could never really restrict it to a certain type. She has to never be willing to back down from something new at least once, sincerely wants me to be a part of what she loves to do while wanting the absolute best for me as well. She has to have a mix of an easy-going and confident personality. She has to understand that flaws are perfection.
How would you describe the perfect date? Wandering a city or a beach for hours in the middle of the night — after the dinner I made (of course). The best time to get to know someone is when no one else is looking!
Explain the worst date you’ve ever been on: I honestly don’t think I’ve been on any memorably bad dates.
