According to Jamie's biography, the contestant is "the type of guy who will show up at the airport and let the ticketing agent decide his destination." He wants an independent wife who will match his adventurous spirit, and will always be down to join him for dinner at the latest local hotspot.

Jamie also apparently flew to Ecuador once just to try Ecuadorian chocolate. A lot of pics on his Instagram feature Jamie hiking, traveling, or posting motivational inspiration for fellow business founders and fitness junkies.

Jamie isn't afraid to post about tough issues.

Jamie recounted the story of how he was once nearly shot by an older white man in a random bathroom for no apparent reason. Jamie definitely appears to be very socially and politically aware and isn't afraid to post about major issues beyond the typical Instagram fare.
