About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I work hard to advance my career but I'm also increasingly relaxed and spend a lot of time for with girlfriend, family and friends :)

ABOUT ME

Identity is shaped by action. My activities revolve around working. cooking, running and reading. I love traveling in the holidays and always take back some obsession back from my travels, be it Scottish breakfast, black tea from the Middle East and buckwheat noodle soup from Japan. I also love meeting new people and learn from them.

PHILOSOPHY

"No man e'er was glorious who was not laborious" (B. Franklin). You got to work to make your dreams come true
