About Me

I'm here to help acceleration the electrification of the Filipino public transport sector . It's a big job.

Please try to avoid last minute requests, at least 4 days in advance if possible

I love life, and I love to explore nature and culture.

I live in Batangas City near the ferry terminal to Puerto Galera. Lake Taal is an easy day trip. So is Arnis Village.

I also love martial arts, snowboarding, rock climbing, biking, running, mandolin and live music

PHILOSOPHY

I don't have to do anything, but there aren't many things I won't do (at least once). I am always trying to push my comfort zone.

Too many to list or concentrate on. I like learning languages and meeting new people. I also love adventures in the mountains, music, snowboarding.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all types of music from electronic to bluegrass. I play mandolin and am slowly building up my songbook of jams.
For books, it tends to be mostly non-fiction, I like to read about travellers and science.
I'm also working on a speculative fiction novel sometimes

Life is pretty amazing in general. I'm very blessed to have the life and the friends I have
