According to his bio on ABC, “PJ is a natural caretaker. He loves his job as a firefighter and wants to make sure that the people he loves are always happy, protected, and healthy. He’s very ready to get married and have a family of his own, but he just wants to make sure that when he does settle down, it’s with the right woman. Nothing lights his fire more than a loyal woman with drive and beauty. He loves when he and his partner can enjoy working out together and hopes to find someone who has a thirst for travel just as much as he does. PJ says that he is the last single man standing out of all his friends, and he’s ready to change that for good!”
