About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Having fun, living healthy, help human kind to go a few steps further on our long term mission of colonizing the Galaxy.

ABOUT ME

..I don't have a specific dream. I have at least a 100, most of them somehow related to sports. I am also into science and technology, occasionally I'm interested in arts and music but rather less and less these days. I look for something, actually, I suppose I look for everything, maybe to understand the universe or something of that sort.

Other than sports, I love public speaking and one of my best experiences in life was to host the year end party for a previous employer with 600 people in the audience.

There are at least 100 things I want to do but on my bucket list now is:

* Speak in a TED talk
* Speak for an audience of more than 1000 persons.
* Do an Ironman 70.3 in Vichy on the 27th of August.
* Take part in a Spartan Beast half marathon race.
* Make a baby.
* Climb Mont Blanc & Matterhorn.
* Run a half marathon in less than 1h 30mi
* Cycle 180km in less than 5 hours.
* Swim 1500m in an Olympic Triathlon in less than 30 minutes.
* Visit Iceland.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I´d like to have sporty guests, specially rock-climbing guests up for going climbing in the evening indoor. I like networking and socializing but am not much into party so anything we do should be done by midnight, at that time I have to be home in bed and sleep, just like Cinderella.
