RentMen:
How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or are you more of a homebody?
Executivedadbear:
I’m a healthy mix of both, depending entirely on the season. I love the thrill of traveling, exploring upscale restaurants downtown, or spending a summer weekend out on a boat in Saugatuck. But I also have a major homebody streak where I just want to recharge. There’s nothing better than throwing on a flannel shirt, turning off my corporate phone, and completely unplugging at a quiet lakefront rental with a strong coffee. I appreciate the high-energy travel, but I value my downtime just as much.
RentMen:
What should others absolutely know about you?
Executivedadbear:
he main thing to know is that I’m a completely 'what you see is what you get' kind of guy. I don't do fake personas, I don't do drama, and I don't do rushed, transactional vibes. Because I have a busy corporate career, my time is incredibly valuable to me so when I accept a booking, it’s because I genuinely want to be there and have fun with you. I bring 100% of my energy, respect, and passion to our time together, and all I ask in return is that you are a real, respectful gentleman who communicates clearly. Oh, and one logistical thing: my screening process is quick but absolutely mandatory. Once we get that out of the way, you have my complete discretion, absolute confidentiality, and total attention.
RentMen:
What are your lifestyle specifics that makes who you are?
Executivedadbear:
My lifestyle is all about balance and flexibility. During the week, it’s fast-paced traveling between Chicago and West Michigan, managing corporate projects, and staying sharp. But on the weekends, I completely downshift. I love a good mix of high-end and low-key. You’re just as likely to find me trying a new upscale restaurant downtown as you are finding me in a flannel shirt on a boat in Saugatuck or hiding out at a quiet beach rental. I don't tie myself to one rigid routine; I prefer a life that allows for spontaneous travel, great food, and relaxed company.
RentMen:
What would you like your readers to know about you that is unique and even a bit personal?
Executivedadbear:
Even though I’ve spent my life climbing the corporate ladder and navigating high-stakes rooms, I’m happiest when I get to strip away the status and just be human. I’m a big fan of contrast. I love the energy of a busy Chicago boardroom, but I’m just as content sitting on a quiet deck on LakenMichigan with a strong coffee, listening to the lake. I’m incredibly proud of my success, but at this stage in my life, I don’t feel the need to prove anything to anyone anymore. That gives me a real sense of freedom, and it means when I’m with someone, I’m entirely focused on enjoying the present moment and having genuine, unscripted fun.
