Bachelor Bio

What do you hope to get out of participating in this television show?
I hope to find the woman I am going to marry and have a blast doing it while friends watch it unfold on television.

If you were stranded on a desert island, what 3 things would you bring and why?
1. Insulin - to survive
2. Food/water - see #1
3. Fully charged cell phone - To ask for transportation off said island

Describe your best friend of the opposite sex and why she deserves that title.
Ashley - She has always been there for me during my worst times, is very perceptive and very feisty. She sugar coats nothing, which is good because I can't have sugar.

Where do you see yourself in five years?
I will be married with two children and another on the way, in an amazing home, and at another stage of my professional career.

If you wanted to approach a woman you had never met before, how would you go about it?
I just go up to her and introduce myself. Nothing to it. No gimmicks.

What's your biggest date fear?
I don't have any "fears" when I go on a date.

Local AUSA Mike Garofalo to be on The Bachelorette
Thanks to numerous tipsters, the buzz around the courthouse is now confirmed -- Assistant United States Attorney Mike Garofalo will be a contestant on the new season of The Bachelorette. He will be competing with two dozen other men for the love and affection of Desiree Hartsock.

He's used to competing, beating out hundreds of applicants for a federal clerkship and then a job at the United States Attorney's Office. And as a trial lawyer, he's used to performing for an audience. So he stands a good chance.

Here's a picture of AUSA Garofalo from one of the upcoming episodes in which the contestants play dodgeball:

I asked the U.S. Attorney's office for comment, and Alicia Valle on the office's behalf said: "We wish him luck." I like that they were good sports about it.

Who Is Bachelorette 2013 Contestant Mike Garofalo?
.
Looks like Desiree Hartsock is making the most of her Bachelorette love journey! This gal has been spotted out and about in Los Angeles with various hotties from her man harem, and the latest? None other than Assistant United States Attorney, Mike Garofalo!

According to Southern District of Florida's Blog, Mike reportedly beat out hundreds of other applicants for a federal clerkship before landing his current job at the US Attorney's Office, where he works as a trial lawyer. That's right — he has beauty and brains! Call us crazy, but Mike and Desiree make a pretty cute couple, and it looks like they had major chemistry during a group date dodgeball session on an upcoming episode of The Bachelorette!

And yes, Mike is wearing short shorts and a headband. Because honestly, any other outfit would look completely ridiculous.

Do you think Desiree and Mike are a match made in heaven? Lord knows girlfriend likes her men beefy, and Mike's upper thighs appear to be even more rock-hard than Bachelor Sean Lowe's!

Thanks for the info! Knowing he is an AUSA, he has had 5-7 years of trail experience and a complete extensive background check. Having achieved all of this at his age, he is definitely passionate about what he wants! There is no chance that this guy is "posing"! Beauty... Brains... Brawn... and, hopefully, an amazing personality... Can this guy have it all? He certainly could! ;)

Seriously, this guy is a ghost!
