Three words to describe yourself: TALL, DARK, & HANDSOME 

Favorite downtown spot: Not much of a downtown kind of guy, but if I had to choose I would say Dillinger’s. It’s the only place you can go to downtown and not come out with spilled drinks all over yourself.

Favorite drink: If were talking about alcohol I would have to go with Jack and Coke. If we’re talking about non-alcoholic beverages I would go with Mountain Dew hands down!

Favorite movie: Who doesn’t love the Notebook?

Fashion trend you hate: Those space pants combined with the fury boots that girls wear all winter long. Um hello this isn’t Apollo 13! We’re in Binghamton, N.Y.! We’re not on the moon, ladies. 

What you look for in a partner: I look for a down to earth, pure, grounded girl with a big heart who can make you laugh and who you can consider a best friend.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Oh wow, that’s a tough question. Well I would love to see myself relaxing on an island with a few of my best friends renting out jet skis to tourists living the good life but in reality I see myself married with a family and children, teaching and coaching baseball.

If you could be any superhero, who would you be and why? That’s an easy question. Justin Bieber! He’s a national icon! Steals the hearts of millions of women, produces great music, has the swag equivalent to LeBron James and Drake and dates Selena Gomez! In my eyes Bieber is definitely a superhero.

If you knew you were going to die tomorrow, what would be the first thing you would do? Besides get the heck out of Binghamton! I don’t think I would do anything too crazy. I think I would just spend as much time as possible with my family and friends and donate all of my funds to sick children.

If you could choose anyone from the past or present to have dinner with who would it be and why? For those guys out there who are reading this and wouldn’t have answered Ryan Gosling, you need to dig deep inside yourselves and interrogate your manhood a little more. I mean the guy is a freaking STUD! Does Crazy, Stupid, Love ring a bell to any of you? You guys want to learn how to dress? Have dinner with Ryan Gosling. Learn how to pick up women? have dinner with Ryan Gosling. Learn how to get in shape? Have dinner with Ryan Gosling. And finally if you guys want to learn how to accomplish almost everything that a man should know how to do in a lifetime, have dinner with Ryan Gosling. I swear I don’t have the biggest man crush of Ryan Gosling or anything. What can I say the guy is dreamy.
