Sam McKinney's Hometown, Family, & Job

Sam is from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. He's an East Coast guy, and, according to his ABC bio, he'd never been to the West Coast of the United States before he joined The Bachelorette. Jenn is also from the East Coast, so he might make a good match for her. When Sam was growing up, he was homeschooled. In addition, he recently officiated his sister's wedding. According to his LinkedIn profile, Sam is a contractor at McKinney Custom Builders in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina.

In an Instagram post, Sam showcased some of the work that he did on a house, including the outside of it and the kitchen. He shared a carousel of before and after pictures of the home, which he renovated with his company, including his dad. He wrote that the renovation was an adventure and that "having the opportunity to own and completely transform this disaster into something to be proud of has been nothing but incredible."

Sam was so proud of the work that he did on this house. This indicates that he loves his career. He seems very fulfilled by being able to create something beautiful out of something that needs some TLC.

 

Sam McKinney’s Hobbies & Interests

According to his ABC bio, Sam's hobbies include golfing and watching the show "Sons of Anarchy." He also enjoys riding motorcycles. In Sam'sBachelorette intro package, shared via Instagram, he revealed that he was in a motorcycle accident that "should've killed me," but he "walked away without a scratch." Because of this, Sam said that any opportunity he gets, he's "taking it head on." Sam's sense of adventure will most likely be appealing to Jenn, who enjoys having fun. Sam was also shown playing with his dogs in the clip.

What Sam McKinney Is Looking For

In his ABC bio, Sam shared that he's always been "a relationship guy," and that his "ultimate dream" is to be a husband and a father. In his Bachelorette video package, Sam said that his "dream" is to "find a girl that I can raise a family with." Sam has been in love before and has been an extremely loyal partner. His number one dealbreaker is cheating, so he's looking for a partner who'll be as loyal as he is.

In an interview with Extra, Jenn revealed that the top three things that she's looking for in a man are emotional maturity, someone who puts in effort, and someone who tries to understand her. It appears that Sam could be the man that she's been searching for because he wants to start a family. In addition, Jenn proved herself to have the qualities that Sam is looking for in a woman when she appeared on Joey's Bachelor season. Jenn also values loyalty in a relationship as well.

It's very important for Bachelorette contestants to want to be married. When they're not serious about proposing, it can lead to disaster for everyone involved. Sam revealing that his dream is to be a husband and a father is very reassuring because it's clear that he has the same goals as Jenn. If Sam and Jenn are on the same page from the beginning, then they might end up together in the end.

Sam can be found on Instagram at @sam.mckinney.23. His bio says, "He who is filled with love is filled with God himself." Sam's first post is from December 2013. His older posts are about playing high school football and baseball, and wrestling. In some of the posts, Sam expressed how much he missed playing these sports after he graduated from high school. He has also posted about his dog, Breaker, who came into his life in 2019. The Bachelorette season 21 contestant seems to be close to his family members, as evidenced by his many Instagram posts about them.

Sam's most recent Instagram posts are about his Bachelorette journey. In one post, Sam shared his Bachelorette promotional photo with the caption, "And we’re off… Hold on tight cause this ride is fixing to be WILD." Although he didn't give details, Sam's words seem to indicate that Jenn's season is going to be quite an adventure for him.

In his post that included his Bachelorette video package, Sam wrote, "I'm such a cheeseball, but y'all follow along" with three laughing face emojis. In the clip, Sam and Jenn are shown kissing. Sam is also shown making a toast to him and Jenn, saying that theirs would be "one of the best stories ever."This sneak peek proves that Sam and Jenn are going to make a connection during The Bachelorette season 21.

Sam seems to be the perfect match for Jenn on The Bachelorette season 21. He's athletic and adventurous, and seems to have a real zest for life. Sam and Jenn both value the same things in a relationship, so they might make a great match. With 25 other men to complete with, Sam will have to work hard to stand out from the crowd. However, he seems to have a lot of the qualities that Jenn's looking for. Hopefully, Jenn and Sam will find love with each other and leave The Bachelorette season 21 happy and engaged.
