Katie Thurston kicks off her season as The Bachelorette tonight on ABC, but we always like to have someone to root for, right? Michael Allio is an Akron native, he's a 37 year old business owner with a 4 year old son.

"Michael is a single dad whose world revolves around his amazing four-year-old son, James. When it comes to dating, the two of them are a packaged deal, and Michael wouldn't have it any other way," says his bio. The Akron native is looking for "a witty woman with a funny bone and a self-deprecating sense of humor," and someone who "has strong convictions and stands up against ignorance."

The Bachelorette premieres tonight at 8 pm on ABC.
