he is 35 and originally from st. augustine. he is an outgoing friendly guy who just likes to have a good time. he and rose met at bar trivia back in the day and had a one night stand. then they kept running into each other and started thinking maybe it was fate and that they should try it for real. then rose got pregnant. they tried to figure things out, but never seemed to get to the point where they could make it work. mostly because he has always had a bad habit of saying and doing the wrong thing. he took custody of bayla after she was born at rose's urging as she struggled with postpartum depression. it was supposed to be a temporary situation but it ended up working so they never changed anything. he was living in key west for the last six years, but recently moved back with the openining new aquarium so that his and rose's daughter didn't have to keep being carted back and forth.
