Bravo enjoys long sensual walks on the beach, romantic candle lit dinners, and the finest bottles of wine and vodka... not! First of all, he'd rather be caught in Las Vegas on a weekend excursion, yes drinking vodka but not conservatively. Spontaneous is the name of the game, not planning anything and just living life with uncertainty is what he's all about. When he's not writing for Muff Slap he is either in the yoga studio practicing his downward dog, kayaking in the San Diego bay, or running a marathon away from, trailing husbands.
