Interview

• If you and I were on the beach having some wine and great food, what would you tell me about yourself.
  I'm a lover, a dreamer, and an insatiable pig. There are stories that explain all of these things... Which one do you want to hear first?
• What do you enjoy most about yourself?
  My nipples. They are truly hardwired and they give me a huge amount of pleasure.
• If you have to pick one thing that everyone else should absolutely know about you, what would it be?
  There's a lot of odd Ginger Jack trivia I could pull from here. Over the years I've been an opera singer, tow truck dispatcher, bill collector, model... Pick a topic and I'll tell you the story over dinner sometime.
• What’s your lifestyle? What makes you who you are?
  I travel constantly, and that informs a lot of my lifestyle choices... These days, I'm on the road 10 to 12 days a month. So I love to experience new places, new cultures, and new people. But is much as I love new things, I'm also a creature of habit in some ways. That's a strength I can draw upon when it comes to my food and fitness program… I am able to stay very disciplined. And being disciplined makes the periodic indulgence that much more delicious. In short, I love being a good boy and I love being a bad boy.
• Tell us what you consider to be your greatest life experience.
  Moving to NYC from the Midwest was a totally transformative experience. No matter what you're looking for, or what you're hiding from, it will find you in New York. And you'll have to deal with it, and you'll have to evolve. It wasn't easy, and at times it was genuinely devastating... But I'm here. And I'm the strongest and most authentic I've ever been.
• What do you do for fun?
  The Brooklyn underground nightlife scene is amazing! There are big monthly warehouse parties like in the 90s, full of such an inspiring spectrum of characters... Thats my playground and I love it. You'll catch me dancing in a jockstrap and boots at pretty much any and every party lol... When I start dancing the clothes just come off.
• What are your greatest personal traits?
  It's gonna sound totally superficial, but my red hair/beard opens a lot of doors for me. Both men and women love it. My beard is delicious when its freshly clean and oiled, and equally delicious when it smells like whatever my face was recently buried in ;) I was in Teotihuacan a while back, where there are incredible Mesoamerican pyramids dating all the way back to 100 BC. It's a truly magical place, and Mexican tourists there were so hypnotized by my gingerness... It was crazy. They were stopping me to take my picture... They called me Barbaroja.
• What are your hobbies? What do you like to do in your spare time?
  I'm creative and I love making things with my hands... I play the piano, cook, design clothes, I love to sing, I love the colorful Brooklyn nightlife. During my free time you might find me relaxing at home working on a creative project, or out dancing with my buddies.
• What is your ‘niche’?
  I'm a hopeless romantic, and I provide and wonderful and authentic boyfriend experience. Especially if you want a boyfriend who's a pig in the sheets.
• How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or you are more of a homebody?
  I travel constantly, at least every month. It suits my Sagittarius ascendant nicely :) I grew up in the upper midwest surrounded by cornfields, blue skies, and not a lot of people lol. So love to experience new places and people, and I love exploring a new culture and language. I loved Tokyo, Moscow, London, Paris, Milan, Lisbon, I think Prague is next. I'd say he most inspiring place I've ever been is Nairobi... The local kids there were so poor that most of them didn't even own shoes, but they were so joyful and celebratory in everything they did. They danced and sang with us, and they radiated a kind of pure authentic joy that was truly a gift to experience.
• What kind of diet and fitness regiment do you follow?
  I'm blessed with the lean gene, thanks to my Viking heritage. So for me, the biggest challenge is packing on muscle. I do zero cardio (except sex)... I focus mainly on weight training. I've also trained in aerial gymnastics and yoga, which I really loved. I eat a lot... 3200 calories a day on a good day, and I keep it lean and clean within reason. But deep down I'm a sensualist, and from the first glass of wine to the last nibble of dessert, I absolutely love an incredible dinner.
• Name 5 things that you can’t live without.
  Basil Hayden's bourbon, my red Nasty Pig jockstrap, Truvada, black combat boots, SPF 90
