The Bachelorette Season 19's Michael Vaughan is a reserved pharmaceutical salesman

Ready to put it all on the line in the name of love is the very handsome Michael Vaughan from Long Beach, California. The 31-year-old has a successful career as a pharmaceutical salesman at Genetech.

A cursory glance at his Instagram profile would tell anyone that he is a fairly reserved person. His social media page doesn't feature a lot of posts or followers, unlike some of the other contestants. This being Vaughan's first gig on TV, it will be interesting to see how he breaks out of his shell to find the love of his life.

Michael can be described as thoughtful, attentive and total husband material. However, he does not consider himself a typical romantic. He prefers to follow logic over emotion, but when it comes to love, his intuition trumps all else. Going by the rule of "when you know, you know," he sounds like a self-assured romantic who knows what he wants or at least knows when he's found love.

Despite being husband material, he is not hesitant to admit that he's a bad cook. He does, however, love Harry Potter, if that's any consolation. And it just so happens that Rachel Recchia, one of the two bachelorettes, is a big Harry Potter fan.

Michael is a mama's boy and describes his mother as the driving force in his life. He says his parents love him, but whether that will impress the ladies remains to be seen.

Michael works hard to take care of his family. If either of the two women on the show is looking for a secure, well-rounded person to be with, Michael checks most boxes.

When it comes to his love life, Michael prefers being with a woman who is not afraid to try new things with him and get out of her comfort zone. He loves a woman who's a go-getter. Looking to meet a memorable woman, he seems to have arrived at the right place as there are two of them on The Bachelorette Season 19.
