Narrative:

When coming in to land I selected my gear down. With no green light [I] looked outside to see my nose gear was not extended. I recycled the gear a few more times with no success. I reverted to the emergency gear extension checklist; and after multiple attempts that was unsuccessful. I then did a soft landing to make sure that my main gears were locked in the down position then performed a hard bounce landing to see if the gear would shake free. The attempt was unsuccessful. I had decided that all my options had been exhausted so I proceeded on a landing without a nose gear but both main gears. I performed 2 practice landings to get an idea of where I would need to land to make it across the intersecting runway. On the 3rd attempt I went through my emergency landing checklist and secured my cockpit; then came in and landed. After the aircraft came to a stop I got out of the aircraft to the left and waited on the grass for emergency crews to arrive.
