Bar manager at PARK Restaurant + Bar
Surprise on his CV: A master’s degree in neuroscience. After leaving the lab, I pursued bartending at PARK, where I honed my technique and learned to work with skill, precision and speed.
Ear candy: NPR is a constant in my life.
Esoteric pursuit: I brew kombucha. I have cultures that are 4 years old at this point, and I love sharing them with friends and neighbors who are interested.
Other creative outlets: I love to build bikes. I’ve built five for my friends.
Special skill: I’m bilingual. Being from Montreal, I grew up speaking French in the house but learned English at the age of 7.
Best feature: My height. Second would be my facial hair.
Celebrity crush: Daniel Radcliffe.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s moment: I once brought my crush a cooler of his favorite oysters to his office, and we had oysters and Champagne for lunch.
Biggest dating disaster: Going on a blind date, only to realize it was the guy my ex was sleeping with when we broke up.
Romance in six words or less: Buenos Aires, with Fernet and cola.
Worst pick-up line he ever received: “I know your mother. She was my professor. I think we should hang out.”
