Q: You are the starring role in one movie already made- what movie would you pick, and which actor would play you?
A: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I’ve always wondered if the pain of love is better to have experienced and learned from or to forget all together. John Cusack would play my character because he brings a perfect blend of sincerity and humor to any role. No matter the situation, humor must play a part.

Q: If you could have a super natural power what would it be and why?
A: Teleportation. I’ve made friends from all over the world and I have family in Greece I’ve never met. Plus, I just love to travel!

Q: If you could steal one thing in the world without getting caught what would you take?
A: Jimi Hendrix’s Fender Stratocaster he played at Woodstock. Then I’d steal the collective musical knowledge of every blues and rock artist since 1945.

Q: What would you have named yourself, if you had the option?
A: Ferris Bueller. The man is the epitome of smooth. Plus, his name has a certain ring to it.

Q: Which 1 year of your life would you relive and why?
A: My final year of college. I forged some of my strongest friendships during that time, got my teaching degree, packed up and moved across the country. I followed through with a goal I had for a very long time.

Q: If you just won CH2’ Bachelor of the Year who is the first person you would call? (This is a trick question, you have to keep it a secret until the magazine comes out January 1, 2010)
A: Mom and dad. They count as one. “Hey mom! Guess what? I’m Bachelor of the Year! That’s right – your son is in a great career, has a great personality and is STILL single. Which means no grandkids for you. Aren’t you excited?” Seriously, they would get a kick out of it.

Q: What is your favorite thing to watch on TV? What is your least favorite thing to watch on TV? (Be specific. Example: If Sports are your favorite pick a one. If Reality TV is your least favorite pick a show.)
A: My most favorite show on TV is The Office. My least favorite is anything that begins with “Tyler Perry’s…”

Q: What would your entrance music be?
A: the theme to Diff’rent Strokes. You can’t tell me that doesn’t make you want to get up and party!

Q: If you could be famous for something you don’t currently do what would it be?
A: Being the author of a New York Times bestseller.
