Being originally from the Seattle area, what made you choose UP?
I chose UP because I had heard that there were a bunch of really nice, fun, down-to-earth girls. You know, wifey material.
You’re really into basketball; do you find that basketball influences other aspects of your life?
Basketball is a lot like my girl life. You know, in basketball you can’t bring your A game whenever you feel like it, you have to bring it every day. With girls, you have to be nice and act like a gentleman every day, not just when you feel like it.
Paint me a word picture of your perfect date. Where would you go? What would you do?
A perfect date for me would have to be a candlelit dinner. I would, of course, make the meal, just for my girl. And of course, “My Boo” by Usher would be on repeat in the background.
What do you look for in a girl?
I’m an eyes guy. But beyond that, I look for a girl that would enjoy going on moonlit walks with me, and my roommate’s puppy (2-year-old German Shepherd named Maya).
Do you look for athletic girls because you yourself are so into sports?
Well, like any guy I want my son to play in the NBA, so marrying an athletic girl can definitely help in that sense. But in all seriousness, athletic girls are awesome and I find it very attractive, but there is so much more to finding that perfect girl.
What’s your “game” once you find yourself interested in a girl? Are you the type to make the first move, or become friends first?
My game is playing hard to get. Well, no necessarily hard to get, but there is no rule that a girl can’t start the texting convo!!! And I like to become friends with a girl first, because what’s the point of dating someone I can’t be best friends with?
