Alec Thompson is one of the 30 contestants this season and his southern drawl got him past the first rose ceremony.

Here’s what we know about the Southern Carolina native and where to find him on Instagram.

As per his official ABC bio, the 29-year-old from South Carolina amounts his philosophy as living to “make the most of every day.” Describing himself as “dependable and emotionally intelligent” these are two traits that Michelle is definitely looking for in her potential partner.

Revealing he was previously married, he “learned a lot about the value of commitment and what it takes to truly make love last.”

As to what the engineer is looking for, Alec hopes to “find a woman who appreciates how much his career means to him but will also make him want to be sentimental and bring out the fun side of him.”

He also notes that he is a true believer in that “old-school, head-over-heels unconditional type of love” and hopes to find that with Michelle.
