• Racontez-nous un peu plus sur vous, si vous devriez choisir quelque chose que vous voudriez que les autres sachent absolument sur vous que serait-elle?
  I deeply care of social justice issues, not ona theoretical or grandiose scale, but on a person to person level--how they affect each of our lives and how the things we do, big and small, can affect them. It sounds corny, but I do believe in the innate goodness of people. Sometimes, we all just have to work harder to find our better angels.
• Racontez-nous la meilleure expérience que vous avez jamais eue.
  The most important experience I have had in my life actually influences what I do now in surprising ways: The best experience I had in my life was helping take care of my ailing mother in her final years. It was often poingant, like when she couldn't bathe herself and I had to stand in the shower to hold her up and wash her--me fully clothed, her not. At times it was emotionally difficult and heartbreaking, but it was the most rewarding experience of my life, to return the unconditional love she had always shown me, back to her in her time of need. I invoke a lot of the traits I learned taking care of her in my daily life: kindness, respect, recognizing when someone is vulnerable and setting them at ease. At some point in life, we all need someone to lean on, in various ways. It is an honor and privilege that so many men share that with me.
• Qu'est-ce qui vous distingue de toutes les autres personnes que vous connaissez?
  I think what makes me stand out from the crowd is my genuine interest in the ins and outs of the men I meet. I like to talk to my visitors and get to know them, at least a little bit. You would be surprised how many men are actually eager to share their vulnerabilities and their fears and their joys. Every single person who visits me turns out to be fascinating in his own special way. OFten ways you would never know if you didn't engage them in a personable and warm and open way.
• Quelle est votre «Niche»?
  My niche, in terms of my look, is the rugged "MuscleBear" or "MuscleDaddy" Look. But I think what is universal to all of us is the need to connect on a personal, human level with each other.
• Quelles sont les particularités de votre mode de vie qui fait de vous la personne que vous êtes?
  I try to see the world from many different perspectives, and even if I do not agree with or share someome's viewpoint, I try to understand it. I also believe in courtesy and politeness and dignigty for everyone I meet.
• Que voudriez-vous que vos lecteurs sashent sur vous qui est unique et même un peu personnel?

• Si nous nous asseyions sur la plage à boire du vin et à déguster des gourmandises juste toi et moi, que me dirais-tu de toi-même et de ta vie?
  I would run the sand through my feet (i love the beach) and stop after two glasses of wine (I don't drink too much--but maybe just enough to talk naughty)
  
  I would tell you that I had a very happy childhood and a couple great loves in my adult life, and that at this point in my life I feel secure with myself and my life, but that I remain open to new adventures.

• Qu'est-ce que les autres devraient absolument savoir sur vous?

• Qu'est-ce que vous aimez le plus chez vous?
  I feel lucky to have the ability to talk warmly with most anyone about the things most personal in his life.
  
  I am also at the point in life where I don't feel the need to be in constant competition with everyone else; I am happy for my strong traits, and enjoy others for what they also have to offer.

• Que diriez-vous sont vos plus grands attributs et/ou spécialité/s/?
  My arms and chest often get the most comments when it comes to my physique. And if you like uncut men, I have LOTS of foreskin. But I think my most important attributes are less visible: kindness, empathy, patience, understanding,

• Quel régime alimentaire et de remise en forme suivez-vous?
  Make the best food choice you can under any given circumstance. Sometimes you cannot pick the ultimate healthy option, so instead, pick the healthiest option available to you at the time.
  
  When it comes to the gym, I try to stick to a routine, but sometimes I bribe myself just to get to the gym, allowing work out of my favorite body parts even if it is off schedule day.
