Why did you audition for The Real World?
I auditioned for the real world because I was at a stage in my life where I could go in many different directions. I was an NFL free agent punter, a sales executive for a sales company called HRD Press, coaching the kickers and punters at UMass, and I was living in Massachusetts when I wanted to be back in Florida. So the Real world was a perfect way for me to take some time to evaluate what I wanted to do next with my life and have fun doing it.
What was a typical day for you before the show?
I would wake up at 8am to be at work by 9.. Every day at my lunch break I would work out at the gym to stay in shape, and after work I would go to UMass' football practice to coach the kickers and punters. From there I would go home and have dinner and by that time it would be time for bed and time to do it all over again the next day.
In three words, how would you describe your Real World experience?
Most amazing experience!
What was your first impression of each of your roommates?
I liked everyone right away when I met them... With that said I knew everyone's true colors would come out eventually, lol.
How did you like working with the StudentCity staff?
Working with the StudentCity staff was lots of fun! Everyone brought something different to the table, and we all played a role in making the StudentCity Cancun experience fun for the travelers.
What would you say are your best and worst traits?
best trait is being there for friends when they need me.. I don't care what it is, if I can help a friend out I will!
What's your guilty pleasure?
Girly dance music and tabletop battle games. But don't tell anybody.
What do you find attractive in a person?
I love women who are athletic, entertaining, and have the personality that allows them to be in any situation and they can still have fun!
What do you find unattractive in a person?
Nothing is worse than a women who hygiene is horrible.. I have a phobia of body hair and bad breathe, so however you want to translate that
What's your favorite thing to do in Cancun?
My favorite thing to do in Cancun was going to Moy Tai fighting classes with Bronne! It was a good way to get out of the house and get away from all the drama.
What's your favorite...
- Bar/Club in Cancun: Dady O's was my favorite club! Carlos the manager was amazing and he always took care of us, and made sure we were having a good time!
- Song to party to: I'm sure this is Bronne's answer also, but Hot and Cold by Katey Perry!! Thanks Bronne for teaching us the dance!
- Band: LMFAO... they were the best performers I have seen in Person.. They are so energetic and it is so much fun to party with them!
- Food: Anything spicy
What's your passion? What do you do when you just need to get away from it all?
My passion is one day playing football in the NFL.. there is nothing more relaxing then getting away from daily drama and just going out to a field and kicking a couple of footballs. If I wasn't aloud to take anger out on my roommates why not kick the crap out of a football!
What are you hoping to achieve or do in the future?
I am passionate about modeling and acting, along with playing in the NFL. In my perfect world, I would play NFL football and my side jobs would be acting and modeling.
