South Pacific bio
Excerpts from his official CBS South Pacific bio page:
"Personal Claim to Fame: I’ve worked on Wall Street, won over 40 poker tournaments, started several successful businesses and earned my MBA at a top five school from the University of Michigan.
Pet Peeves: Close-mindedness and disingenuous people.
Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like: Ethan. The dude dominated so much and was such a good guy that they practically gave him the one million.
Why you think you will be the sole Survivor: No one with my combination of character, intelligence, cunning and athleticism has ever been on Survivor. "
