I wanted to be a poet when I was a child, but it was not possible; so instead I became a tech director with a PhD, in the hope that one day I'll be able to approach the fine or performing arts again. Meanwhile, I fight hackers!

Interested in meeting new people for cultural/mental exchange, learning new things, having fun, asking the difficult questions, exploring Ideas, broadening horizons, unlocking brains!

I can help with public speaking, technology advice, cyber security and safety from hackers, personal or corporate.

Quote: Music is what feelings sound like; Georgia Cates.
I listen to varied music styles, a lot of classical, though also hip-hop, rock, metal, pop... Would love to explore new or unique styles!

Adventure level: medium-crazy

Love traveling, music, biking, water sports, tours, history, nature, wine tasting!

Lived in Beirut, Riyadh, Dubai, and now In fascinating Paris.
