About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Unlock all of life mysteries on the fly

ABOUT ME

A half mexican half polish guy with extra-ordinary good luck... Personality is mix between a surfer, a hippie, a samurai, a scientist, a monk and a dog (the ones that run free and dont come when they are called). In a personal quest for something (still not sure what). I marvel at the randomness of everyday things but also, the certainty of absolute things like science and music...Always reaching for new limits...
Every day is an opportunity to have fun, learn from others, help others, and discover those things that make your heart speed up...

PHILOSOPHY

The cup for me is always half full. Make your own decisions, there is no failure only learning. Any path you choose will have pros and cons, learn to enjoy them both, life is short. I try to look at the big picture of things, question everything and hear both sides of the story.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am lucky to have grown up and have friends all over Mexico...I have surfed in the waters of Nexpa and Puerto Escondido, visited most of the Mayans ruins, snorkeled in Akumal Mexico, swam with alligators, hang out with monkeys, explored amazing underground caves in southeast Mexico. Whitewater raft the Gauley and New River George in West Virgnia. Random trips floating in inner tubes in sections of the New River in Virginia, flipped a canoe in the Shannadoah river...
Got a quick taste of "pura vida" living in Costa Rica...Spent 2 sleepless months in Japan, working like crazy, practicing Aikido at the Hombu dojo and enjoying the Tokyo nightlife...
Found myself in Pohang South Korea working with people in blue suits, eating delicious food, windsurfing Bubku beach and drinking Korean Suju at the beach...Took on the mission to go to Taiwan and wake up a Dragon, spend a lot of time riding a scooter along the beach, and going techno concerts... Spent 7 awesome months in amazing Brazi, surfing as much as I could.
