"I'm 39, I’ve
been around the block a few times, had some great life experiences,
I’ve rubbed shoulders with people from every walk of life. I
can walk the walk, talk the talk. I have great people skills. So when
you put me on an island with 15 strangers, I have the ability to get
to know them. To make them trust me, make them think that I’m
their friend, their ally. And that comes from my life experiences,
as well as nine years as a trial attorney. I don't think they’ve
had someone on Survivor like me, because I have different qualities
that I take from some of the better players. I bring a lot of passion
to the game, I’m very passionate about it. Mental and physical
skills, the ability to manipulate, with my profession as well as my
life experiences. The charm, I mean, I got married when I was 32, and
I dated many, many women, and I know… generally speaking, what
makes ladies tick." |

"Born
in Utica, New York, Andrew M. Savage currently resides in Chicago with
his wife, Stephanie (who is originally from the
island of Mauritius), and their two daughters, Mackenzie, 5, and Skyleur,
3. He is currently employed as an intellectual property attorney at a
major Chicago law firm. Savage and his wife previously owned an import/export
company in South Africa. Savage earned a Juris Doctorate in law from
the University of Cincinnati. His three favorite hobbies are rugby, cross-training
and playing with his wife and kids. He describes himself as athletic,
adventurous and ambitious. He is most proud of the fact that he met and
married his soul mate and fathered two angelic girls. He is also proud
of his brother, John, a singer/songwriter who has topped the charts on
MP3 for his self-titled 1998 release, "John Savage" (a new
release is due in the Fall of 2003). His hero is Nelson Mandela because
he feels he is the truest sole survivor. In Savage's words, "President
Mandela outwitted, outplayed and outlasted a troubled nation decimated
by racism to eventually lead the country down the path to equality." He
feels he's up for Survivor: Pearl Islands because of his intelligence,
athleticism and ability to get along with everyone in emotionally charged
situations. His birth date is July 29, 1963." |
