Occupation
I work for a local camera accessories company called Zacuto.
What do you like best about yourself?
I am a passionate person and rarely engage in anything if I don't feel a "fire in my gut" type feeling. I feel like I am a pretty fun guy as well.
What's your idea of a perfect first date?
I like the awkwardness and excitement that comes with first date conversations. To that end, I really like keeping it simple and going somewhere like a coffee house or bar where we can have a few drinks and feel one another out.
What's the worst date you've ever had?
Okay, full disclosure: Once upon a time, a missed connection was written about me on Craigslist. I figured I should follow it through so I contacted the poster and went on a date. She was nice and all, but it was so awkward. It was essentially a blind date.
Number one dealbreaker
I'm Christian, so faith is the lens in which I see the world and would like to share that with somebody. Don't worry, I'm not a Kirk Cameron-type Christian, and I have friends from all walks of life and love them dearly, but that is something I'd like to share with a significant other.
Which is more important, romantic spark or long-term compatibility?
Long-term compatibility by far (like what I did there?) I mean, romantic spark can be the result of dim lighting and the right Coldplay song. Compatibility is a matter of accepting somebody good and bad and making it work.
Complete this sentence: If you're going to date me, you have to love to...
Respect my love for Bruce Springsteen. I understand if you don't feel the same way about him, but he is touring in 2012 so I will be giddy leading up to it. You would get huge points if you came with me.
Secret talent
I'm going to say headstand, because if asked, I can deliver.
Ideal match
Tammy Taylor from Friday Night Lights. A strong, independent, sarcastic and loving woman. I have a soft spot for nurses, teachers and artists.
