ABOUT ME

I am an easy going Geek that enjoys learning something new everyday. I am very open-minded and I am very curious and love learning about other cultures, languages and life in general. That is, whenever I can fight my urge to procrastinate.

I was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela, but I have spent my College years in Orlando, Florida and I know this city better than my hometown. I moved to Oregon in January 2015 and love this place very much.

Music is a very important part of my life. I have studied its history, how to make it and how to record it. I study Engineering now because I just love building stuff and finding out how things work.

PHILOSOPHY

Observe, Think, Discuss. Get out of your comfort zone so you can grow as a person.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't discriminate music genres. To me a song can either move me or not. I was lucky to grow up listening to The Beatles, Johnny Cash and Old School Salsa and Boleros.

I listen to everything although I keep coming back to Classic Rock ( Cream, Kansas, Rush, Zeppelin, etc) and my Latin roots ( Oscar D' Leon, Ruben Blades, La Dimension Latina, etc). Lately I've been obsessing over Jazz, Brass Bands and the whole New Orleans Musical Culture.

Listen to Fela Kuti, he is good for the soul.

I enjoy reading modern sociology books and "Pop" Science such as Malcolm Gladwell as well as Sci-Fi like Harry Turtledove, Robert Sawyer and Vernor Vinge

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have met some of the most compassionate and smartest people during my stay in this world. I have realized that the only way to accomplish your goals is to align them with your personal values. Get out of your comfort zone while it is easy to do so!.

Teach, Learn, Share

Lately I've been learning how to make my own bread. I can teach you to bake if you are interested. Trust me....the best tasting meal is the one that you made with your own hands.
