is a former CFL player and was the first bachelor on “The Bachelor Canada.” He went on to host “Chopped Canada”; this November, he’ll host “The Big Bake: Holiday” on Food Network Canada and STACKTV. “I’m two months into being single again after two back-to-back , so I’m currently in the transition period I usually don’t like too much, except for my bills being cut in half! I miss the companionship, the familiarity.
As a serial monogamist, I’ve always loved building a life together and a routine. I love understanding my girlfriends’ habits and idiosyncrasies that make them one of one. It would be insane to say I like meeting people organically after being The Bachelor, but outside of that instance, I’ve always met people that way.

I’ve been out of the game for years, but my last singledom was survived by nights on King West, like most Toronto singles!
