Claim to Fame: I have been completely sober for six years straight! I used to drink quite a lot actually, but after a terrifying experience, shall we say, I decided that enough was enough and I had to stop drinking. Sure, it meant that I had to quit seeing a few friends ‘cause it seemed like all they ever wanted to do was get drunk. But I am a new man now, so that was well worth it!

Inspiration in Life: My ex-fiancée, believe it or not! All those years ago, Sarah really helped me realize that the life I was leading was quite destructive and she got me on the path to get clean and sober, and stay that way for so long. It’s unfortunate that our relationship fell apart a few months later. But I am still thankful for the fact she did help me clean up my life.

Hobbies: Hanging out with friends and family, especially my new fiancée, and love of my life, Ashley; working out; karaoke; jogging; basketball; baseball; playing my guitar; selling insurance; loving life!

Pet Peeves: Surfer dudes are probably the people that annoy me the most now. Unfortunately, I used to be one of them. I had the long, gold locks and pretty much fit all of the “surfer dude” stereotypes to a tee. Now when I see people like that, I kind of puke in my mouth a little ‘cause it reminds me of the life I used to live and don’t wanna go back to. I also avoid drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, and any crap like that like the plague now.

3 Words to Describe You: High on life!

If you could have 3 things on the island, what would they be and why?: The first thing would definitely be cologne so I always smell nice and fresh. The second thing would be my acoustic guitar so I could entertain my tribe. For the third thing, I’d bring some toilet paper… for obvious reasons.

SURVIVOR contestant you are most like: Horatio Ellison, hands down! In Eyre Peninsula, he had people swooning all over him, which allowed him to have a really strong social game while dominating in challenges. Then he won in Oman while having a decently good strategic game on top of his stellar social game-play, which is what I’m going to do out here!

Reason for being on SURVIVOR: Bottom line, I’m here to win that million dollar cheque so Ashley and I can start a family!

Why do you think you will “survive” SURVIVOR?: I’ll “survive” this game because I’ll do whatever the hell it takes to get myself to the end! Since Ashley knows I’m out here for both of us, she’s given me permission to flirt, so you’d better believe I’m willing to use my looks to my advantage! I don’t care what lies I have to tell, who I have to flirt with, or who I have to stab in the back. You name it, I’m willing to do it if it’ll get me one step closer to the money!

Why do you think you will be the Sole SURVIVOR?: As I said, I’m just gonna do whatever it takes to get myself to the end and win. Even if I’m sitting at the finals and people don’t like the way I played the game, they’ll have no choice but to respect the game I played because of how hard I fought to get to the end as well as the reason I was fighting so hard.
