What are some of the things you love most about Los Angeles?
I love the diversity of Los Angeles. I love that you can go hiking in the mountains, biking in the canyons, and swimming in the ocean. I love the weather. I love the people. There may be some misconceptions about the entertainment industry and about Hollywood personalities, but there's a lot to do, and you can find really cool things if you look hard enough.

What are some of your least favorite things about Los Angeles?
The traffic, definitely. Other than that, I love L.A. You know, there's traffic and congestion issues in every major U.S. city. The only difference is that L.A. has really bad public transportation.

What gym do you like most in Los Angeles? Why?
I like the gym in my apartment complex because it's so convenient. It's right there.

What are some great restaurants for a night out with gay friends in Los Angeles?
I'd say Fiesta Cantina because it's always crowded with other gays, and they're all drinking and boozing, and they have two-for-one specials. So it's a great place to go with your friends and maybe meet some guys.

What are some great restaurants for a romantic gay date in Los Angeles? What about these restaurants appeals to you?
Well, my favorite restaurant in Los Angeles is definitely Ortolan. It really is an experience when you go there. They take food to another level. It's hard core, French food done to perfection.

What are your favorite gay bars and/or dance clubs in Los Angeles? What do you like about them?
I'd have to say it's Akbar, and I love it. It's my favorite gay bar/dance club because there's never a line to get in. There's never a cover charge. There's never any fake drama. The people that go there aren't your typical West Hollywood crowd. Plus it's like a two in one. If you want to dance there's a dance floor or if you want to relax there's a nice lounge to do it at.
