Destin Pfaff: The Man Behind the Millionaire Matchmaker

Bravo's Millionaire Matchmaker returned for a new season, and Premier Guide Miami caught up with Destin Pfaff — the club's COO and the man who makes it all happen behind the scenes. Premier Guide Miami sat down to find out what that means — and what comes next.

Bravo's Millionaire Matchmaker returned with some of last season's characters and interesting new millionaires. Premier Guide Miami caught up with the man behind the scenes who makes it all happen: Destin Pfaff, the club's new COO. We had a chance to talk with Destin about the birth of his new baby, Sin Halo, his perfect match, and of course Millionaire Matchmaker.

PGM: Congrats on the birth of your new baby, Sin Halo. Your baby has quite an unusual name — who named him?

DP: Rachel and I named him together. We were lying in bed thinking of names, talking about the good and bad in all of us, the yin and yang — out popped Sin Halo — the angel and devil. Now there's an uproar all over the internet from people who hate his name. Well, we think it's beautiful, and a heck of a lot better than "Bob."

PGM: You are now engaged to Rachel Federoff. How did that match come about?

DP: We actually met on MySpace! We were friends for a while — who never met — turned out we frequented a lot of the same venues and one day ran into each other. It was amazing and exciting for me, not so much for her. I guess I wasn't her "type." Well, a chance encounter later and a magical kiss on my birthday, a sprinkle of Patti's advice and pushing, and BAM — in love!

PGM: Would you say this is your most successful match yet?

DP: I'm the happiest guy on the planet — an amazing fiancee, a beautiful son, a great career, and a best friend for a boss. I'm very lucky. So yes!

PGM: The Millionaire Matchmaker has become a huge success. What exposure are you gaining from the show as Patti's COO?

DP: The show is HUGE. I literally cannot go out in public without at least a few people coming up to me and telling me how much they love the show, or wanting a picture with me. It's a lot of fun and has done wonders for both my careers as a matchmaker and filmmaker. Do I see a spinoff in my future — The Mohawked Matchmaker? It's a blast!

PGM: What other projects are you involved with?

DP: Outside of Matchmaker, I'm about to go into production on a film I'm producing called Sushi Girl — a great 1970s-style heist thriller directed by Kern Saxton, who's from Florida. I'll then be directing two horror films, Licorice Kisses and The Dark Into Me, followed by a film I wrote called The Disembodied. All while matchmaking and writing a romantic comedy with Patti. And that's just the beginning!

PGM: What is it you do for the club?

DP: I am COO of the Millionaire's Club and, next to Patti, the most successful matchmaker in the company. I have my own clients and do what Patti is shown doing on a regular basis, not to mention all business affairs.

PGM: What's the best piece of advice you can offer single people out there right now?

DP: If you're single and don't want to be, obviously what you're doing isn't working. Get out of your comfort zone, do something different, and stop being single. Life is way too short!
