Favorite thing about being in a relationship: Knowing that someone always has my back and being able to propel another person (and to be propelled) in life and in love.
Most noticed part of your body: My eyes and my abs
Part of the body you notice most: I’m a sucker for gorgeous eyes.
Ideal qualities in a potential mate: Spontaneity and a sense of humor. I can be a bit quirky at times and need someone who can roll with the punches.
Deal-breakers: Bad breath and gluten allergies. (I’ve had a bad experience in that department and need someone who can unwind with a cold beer every once in a while!)
Favorite sports team: Syracuse University basketball. I head back to campus at least once a year with my family to catch a Big East game; I never miss a game on TV.
Favorite movies: Braveheart, The Notebook and Three Amigos
Professional accomplishments: In 2009, my second year in the commercial real estate business, I was named our firm’s Associate Broker of the Year nationwide.
Greatest life ambition: I want to find love, raise a family and be as great a parent to my children as my parents were to me.
Secret obsession: Justin Bieber. The kid has some serious pipes. My band, Ryan Hickey & The Saints, covers about five of his songs.
Unique quirk: I’m OCD about brushing my teeth. I don’t think I’ve ever been able to brush my teeth in less than five minutes.
Something people would never guess about you: I run a fantasy league for ABC’s The Bachelor/The Bachelorette and blog comedic recaps.
Favorite season of The Bachelor/Bachelorette: This Bachelorette season with Ashley Hebert. The Bentley drama was pure gold, and Jeff (the guy with the mask) was incredibly entertaining.
