What is your favorite drink? When I’m out, it’s tequila and soda, clean, crisp, and gets the job done with a wink. But when I’m home, I’m all about a good Scotch — something smooth, smoky,
What type of guy are you into? I’m into guys who are solid in spirit and soft in the belly. Give me a big laugh, a kind heart, and a little scruff, and I’m melting. I like men who carry themselves with confidence but don’t take life too seriously.
Favorite cities or travel destinations: Anywhere with good food, brown liquor, and bears with bounce! P-Town and Puerto Vallarta during Bear Week are my personal gay Christmas. Sun, sass, and shirtless hugs. I also have a soft spot for Sitges, Spain — the views, the beach, the views on the beach. Reykjavik surprised me with how magical it was, and Manchester always shows out with energy and edge. But honestly, give me a place where the locals are friendly, the dance floor is packed, and the food is bold and I’m already planning my return.
What’s your idea of a good date? Start with great food followed by something unexpected — art exhibit, drag bingo, a rooftop with a view — anywhere we can vibe and flirt between bites and sips. End the night with a short walk and maybe some long glances. No pressure… just a spark.
What do you look for in a Guy: I love a man who knows who he is someone secure, emotionally available, and maybe just a little nerdy. A good communicator, curious about the world, and not afraid to double up on dessert. Show me you’re thoughtful and can make me laugh mid-eye-roll, and I’m all yours.
What’s your favorite Hobby or Pastime? I love traveling to queer festivals and bear weeks around the world — I’ve probably danced next to you and didn’t even know it. Outside of that? I’m hunting down good eats and serving lewks when the mood strikes.
Anything else you’d like to mention? Don’t be afraid to say hello! Whether we’re sweating on a dance floor, lining up for bao, or just vibing in a sunbeam, I’m always down for real connection. Life’s too short to not flirt with a smile and shoot your shot. And if you see me at a Bear event, Bring tequila and a fan. Let’s make memories.
There are so many hot Bears to look at on Instagram! Because of this, Bear World Magazine has decided to highlight some of our favorite Bears every week.
We celebrate Bears of all races, ethnicities, sizes, types, ages, genders and abilities.
