A: I'm the real deal. No filter, no performance. The guy you meet is the guy you get. I'm big, I'm warm, I've got a voice that does things to people, and I genuinely enjoy making someone's day better. That's it. That's the whole thing.
A: Cycling along the lakefront, building smart home automations that would make your head spin, cooking, going to electronic music festivals, and watching Eurovision with way too much emotional investment. I'm also studying for my personal trainer certification, because apparently I needed another thing to do. When it's too cold to ride outside, the Peloton keeps me moving.
A: I pay attention. To what someone says, what they don't say, what makes them light up. I remember details. I follow through. If I tell you I'm going to do something, I do it. That's not extra to me — that's baseline. But apparently it's rare enough that people notice.
A: Ride my bike along the lake, cook, tinker with smart home gadgets, and hang out with someone interesting. I love a good dinner out, electronic music festivals, and I'm just as happy at a fancy restaurant as I am on the couch watching something dumb.
A: Rebuilding myself from scratch. I was 455 pounds and living a life that wasn't mine. Losing the weight, moving to a new city alone at 39, and building something completely my own — that was the hardest and best thing I've ever done. Everything good in my life right now came from that decision.
A: The voice. Seriously. People don't forget it. But also — I'm not performing. What you get when we meet is the same person you see online. Big, friendly, present, and actually interested in making sure you have a good time. No ego, no act.
A: I'm easy to be around. That sounds simple but it's rare. I'm genuinely curious about people, I don't take myself too seriously, and I have a way of making things feel comfortable fast. I'm also discreet — what happens between us stays between us, full stop.
A: The big guy with the deep voice who actually listens. I'm not trying to be someone I'm not. I'm warm, I'm present, I'm fun, and I clean up well. If you want someone who looks great next to you and makes you feel good about yourself while he's there — that's me.
A: Chicago is home. I ride my road bike along the lakefront as much as I can — when it's too cold, the Peloton keeps me sane. I lift, I'm studying for my personal trainer certification, and I'm a content creator by trade and a tech nerd by nature. I like nice dinners, live music, and long conversations that go somewhere unexpected.
A: I came out of a 17-year relationship, lost over 230 pounds, and moved to Chicago to build my first truly independent life — all in under two years. I'm not the same person I was, and I like who I'm becoming. That kind of reinvention changes how you show up for people. I don't take any of this for granted.
A: I'm 6'4", big, warm, and way nerdier than I look. I play bass clarinet in a concert band. I geek out over home automation and smart home tech. I'll talk your ear off about Eurovision. What you see in my photos is real, but there's a lot more going on upstairs than the pics suggest — and I think that's the fun part.
A: My voice. People tell me I should do audiobooks or ASMR, and honestly, they're not wrong. But beyond that — I genuinely like people. I'm curious, I'm present, and I make the person I'm with feel like the only person in the room. That's not a skill I learned. That's just me.
A: I was 455lbs back in May of 2022 and decided to make a big change. I had sleeve gastrectomy and started back to the gym. Since then I have lost over 160lbs, put on a bunch of muscle, and am in the best shape of my life. It has been so great for my mental health to love what I see in the mirror these days. I currently lift at the gym 5 days a week, and hop on the Peloton every day. Diet is weird for me post surgery, so I end up eating a lot of chicken to keep up the protein intake.
A: I am a huge commercial aviation and airline geek and love to travel. In a previous career life, I was cabin crew and a travel agent, so I have been all around the world. It also explains the A320 tattoo on my back. Favorite place that I’ve visited so far is Auckland, New Zealand. Some of the most spectacular beaches I’ve ever seen.
