CURRENT MISSION

To forge my own path

ABOUT ME

Lab technician by day, artist and explorer by night! I believe interesting company, sharing good food and drinks and stories, to be some of the most important ingredients of a good life.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn. As long as I'm alive, I must take in the world around me, and grow from it. Cervantes' novel Don Quixote is full of passion for life, and helps to form the foundation of my philosophy.
