CURRENT MISSION

Continuing to grow without growing up

ABOUT ME

I was born in the US, raised in a very international environment in Mexico and have lived abroad alone since mid-2004. I spent almost 5 years in California and Oregon and have been living in Germany since mid-2009.
I hold a BA in History and Slavic languages (Polish and Russian) and an MA in Eastern European History from Heidelberg University in Germany. I've been living in Hamburg since June 2017.

I'm somewhat of a man of contrasts and like to keep a balance between the loud and energetic and the quiet and mellow. I love literature, football, and heavy music. My hobbies include writing and Muay Thai.

References talk louder than verification, so don't forget to take a peek at my references to see what people wrote about me since I'll never become verified.
Even though my reply rate is 0%, I do reply to messages if you don't just copy and paste your request.
