W
hat do you love most about your life?

The possibilities are almost limitless if you dare to dream. And every single day is an adventure to be savored.

What’s the one thing you’re most passionate about?

NEW EXPERIENCES! Life’s just one big, exhilarating learning curve. I absolutely love meeting new people, traveling to new places, and immersing myself in new cultures.

What’s your idea of a great first date?

A great first date is not about the context, but the content. It’s about making a genuine connection so that the two of you become completely and utterly lost in the moment.

Your ideal mate would have what characteristics?

Highly intelligent (MENSA membership not required, but it would be hot!), gorgeous, independent, fit, adventurous, compassionate, well-educated, wise, financially secure, genuine, and worldly but down to earth. 

One thing a potential girlfriend should know about you?

I’m a true gentleman with a dollop of mischief, blended with a hint of whimsy.

What’s a deal breaker for you on a date? 

Ignorance  

Daily habit you can’t and wouldn’t want to break?

Three things for a sound mind, body, and spirit. Each day I hit the gym hard, constantly work to expand my understanding of the world around me, and nurture my connections to the important people in my life.

You own too many . . . 

Collector cars. While I’m a Porsche fan, I love everything from Italian exotics to classic American Muscle.

Do you have pets? 

Not at the moment, but I have a profound weakness for BIG, loveable dogs. Life is so much more beautiful with a wagging tail in it!

Book or movie you’d recommend anyone to read or watch?

“Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand.

Something surprising most people don’t know about you?

I own two properties in the Bahamas. One is a pied a terre in a secluded part of Nassau and the other is a waterfront lot on a private island located just off of Paradise Island.

Secret Hollywood crush?

Nada. I prefer reality to smoke and mirrors.

Favorite vacation destination? 

Excluding my “Bahamian Bias,” I’ve got a few faves: San Sebastian (Spain), Venice and Florence, Anguilla and the British Virgin Islands (Caribbean), and Santorini (Greece).

Ideal way to spend a hooky day?

It would likely involve a meandering drive to nowhere with a deliciously fascinating woman. Spontaneity would be the main course with homemade ice cream as a likely dessert.

What’s one of the most adventurous things you’ve ever done? 

Solo camping on my deserted beach in the Bahamas for 4 days. It was all going surprisingly well until a summer squall unexpectedly hit at 3:30am with 38 mph winds. Think Robinson Crusoe crossed with Cast Away and you’ll get the gist!

INTERVIEW UPDATE!

The subtitle to this year's issue -- "they won't stay single for long" -- was quite prophetic. We recently caught up with David and learned that this is one bachelor that's no longer on the market. (So we did hear hearts breaking up and down the Main Line!) David reports that he's now happily involved with an incredibly special woman and that the two of them just returned from a romantic trip to Harbour Island in the Bahamas. Best of luck, David!
