The Resume

    (May 17, 1983- )
    Born in United States
    Personal Trainer
    Raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin (resides in Minneapolis, Minnesota)
    Former Certified Athletic trainer at Goodyear Chiropractic Health Center
    Finished fourth in Ali Fedotowsky's season of 'The Bachelorette' (Summer, 2010)
    Contestant on Season 2 of 'Bachelor Pad,' competing to win $250,000 (Summer, 2010)
    Contestant on Season 2 of 'Bachelor in Paradise' (Summer, 2015)
    Experienced outraged fan backlash after dumping contestant Carly Waddell before their final one-on-one overnight 'Fantasy Suite' date in Paradise (Sept. 7, 2010)

Why he might be annoying:

    His mother used to embarrass him by showing up at his school dressed as the Easter Bunny.
    He freaked Ali Fedotowsky out on his hometown date when he showed her his dad's taxidermy studio.
    His strategy going on Ali's season was to 'make out with her as soon as possible and then do it as often as possible.'
    He regretted this when he realized that the kissing was filmed by multiple cameras and therefore made each kiss look twice as long and overblown.
    He was a key member of Kasey and Vienna's 'Bachelor Pad' alliance (in some Twilight Zone setup where the two somehow could maintain political power).
    During the 'Bachelor Pad' 'Nearly Wed Game,' Ella Nolan inexplicably guessed wrong when Chris Harrison asked what animal Kirk would most likely be (obviously Mr. Limpett said 'a fish).
    He was accused of leading contestant Carly Waddell on, dumping her at the 11th hour. He allegedly decided to end his relationship with Waddell after listening to her talk about marrying and having children, leading him to conclude they weren't at the same place in the relationship.
    His decision drew the ire of the sizable Bachelor Nation fan base, with outlandish tweets surfacing in the wake of it, such as 'Not since Ross and Rachel have I been so emotionally invested in a couple. R.I.P. #Cark/Kirly.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He's an avid fisherman.
    He's a genuinely caring person who also has a sense of humor.
    He ran cross country and track in High School.
    He finished 8th in the 1500m in the NCAA All-Americans as a Freshman in college.
    He remains good friends with fellow Great Lakes resident and Bachelorette contestant, William Holman.
    He was a fan favorite on his 'Bachelorette' season and was considered a dark horse contender for the 'Bachelor' slot for a time (it eventually went to Brad Womack for the second time).
    He came off as one of the only normal contestants without any serious issues on his season of 'Bachelor Pad.'
    He picked up on Justin 'Rated R' Rego's having two girlfriends when he overheard him talking on the phone (later saying 'if you want to break out a wrestling T-Shirt, it should say Justin Lie-R).
    Carly dedicated one of her damn karaoke 'finger puppet' songs to him after the breakup (He's in good company anyway).
    He was on the receiving end of heavy vitriol and hate messages from jilted fans (he subsequently apologized to Carly at the 'After Paradise' special, and she accepted).
    He commented on the angry reaction by saying 'Amidst all the negativity and backlash there has been an incredible amount of support, loving words, and true understanding that I was doing the best I could to listen to my heart... I've truly felt more loved than I ever have in my entire life. To my friends, family, and people on social media who chose kindness I want to say thank you... for going out of your way to make me feel loved, cared for, and supported. It means more than you know.'
