DANNY WIEBER

31, FIREFIGHTER, TILLER OPERATOR

Being a firefighter wth eight years of experience, Danny Wieber knows how to turn up the heat—at least in the oven. During the pandemic, Danny began experimenting with baking; he credits bingeing “The Great British Baking Show” with inspiring his sweet hobby, and the monster cookies he makes are a hit with family and friends. Danny thought this would be a fun way to get out there since his busy work schedule doesn’t free him up for a ton of dating; that, and the fact that he’s become a bit disenchanted with modern dating. “These days, dating is almost egregious because with the apps, you have this preconceived notion of a person before you even meet,” he says. “Social media has sort of ruined the appealing mystery of dating.” Cookies aren’t the only thing Danny likes to whip up: he has a whole bar at his house. “If I’m going to make my date a drink, it’s her choice,” he says. “If she doesn’t know, I’d probably go with a grapefruit vodka soda, something sweet and light.”
