Stern Singles Presents: Alec Eisenberg

Welcome back to another edition of Stern Singles. Just in time for Valentine’s day, I present you with February’s heart throb, Stern’s most eligible bachelor, Alec Eisenberg.

Sternie Testimonials:

Alec is a total catch and the complete package; all other guys should want him off the market so we can stop competing against him.

Lucky for me, where we collaborate we don’t need to compete. Let’s gas this man up.

If you’re ever having a bad day and need to be reminded to keep moving forward, Alec is your guy! He’s kind, reliable, and can talk about anything….no seriously ask him anything, he’s an open book.

It was that moment when I realized the ticket stub from my first baseball game didn’t have quite the same pizzazz I thought it had.…
