Meet the dreamy boys of Coverflow
Pick which one will be your imaginary boyfriend! (I know who mine is!!)
One Direction. ‘N Sync. The Backstreet Boys. They’ve got nothing on the dreamy boys of Coverflow. And yes, you heard right—Coverflow will be playing at Vator Splash on February 13.
We know you have a lot of questions, like what makes these guys tick? What are they looking for in a girlfriend? And who is their favorite Downton Abbey character? So we caught up with them to find out.

If you weren’t a VC/entrepreneur/rock star, what would you be doing?
Tim: Actor/writer/teacher
What’s your idea of the perfect date?
Tim: Something new plus old favorites shared. Learning someone's life story, and discovering something new about yourself in the process. Multiple settings that start off planned and then follow whimsy and serendipity. Trying or learning something new together (or doing something that you haven't done in years but used to love).
*Except he's married with kids

Quick Facts:
Height: 6’1

Favorite animal: Dinosaur
With his keyboards and his non-threatening good looks, this swoon-worthy exec is the newest member of the band. He likes flying planes, playing games and music, and his ideal date would be an evening in a salsa club in downtown Havana (squeak!). But slow down, girls…he’s not looking for a girlfriend at the moment as there is simply no room in his schedule for starting a new relationship. (And because he’s married with two kids.)
What’s your favorite movie?
Kristian: Star Wars IV
What’s your favorite book?
