  9. Robert Bahr

    For starters, I'm half Samoan half German. I have lived in Southern California my entire life and love it. Love to travel, and just being outside. I like going to the beach, must be the island boy inside me, and going body boarding. I like to BBQ, and hang out with friends. I've been told I'm a funny guy, but looks aren't everything. I've also been told I'm smart, but I still haven't figured out what that means yet. As for now, I think that is all I can say.
