About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I currently working in Shanghai, China- I work for a Restaurant/Club/Lounge, but I mostly do boring office stuff.

Im finished my studies at University of Hawaii, via Hokkaido University. . I love to dance, I like to dance Salsa (cha-cha, marengue, bachata) and Swing. I love to travel, especially in Asia. Im an outgoing guy, I go out often, love to go dancing, drinking, clubbing and whatever, however I know my limits. However, I try to be balanced, as much as I enjoy going out I love to spend my time analyzing grammar and lines of programing code.

Recently I'm trying to get ready for the several language certifications I'm trying to do, but I totally enjoy it.

I love to talk and have lively discussions, on just about any topic. And having conversations over beers is one of my favorite activities.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. Be open minded and try everything at least once.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the sunrise over Hong Kong Harbor, after dancing all night- head still spinning and body aching, however still enough energy to take out and study some new vocab.

The Floor in LA, the most amazing event I've ever been- it's like being on stage during a show- both watching and participating. It's improv like you've never seen, talent from musicians and dancers like I've never seen.

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone, the further from my comfort zone, the better.
