ABOUT ME

Well, stranger, I lived for the past 11 years in the USA and UK in order to complete my studies. My PhD started as an excuse to continue being a student. While I was studying I was involved with radio production. I had a show in a student radio station. At the same time I pursued my dream which was acting. I started participating in various plays. The most serious attempt of all was the starring role I had in a two-actor play that was staged very successfully on the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland. After doing lots of extracuricular stuff I decided it was time to finish this PhD. I worked for 7 months non-stop and I managed to get over this hurdle. I don't want to work in academia, I have been a student for way too long and I thus started an investment company that is into real estate development. It is intellectually very rewarding as I am learning a lot of new things.

After working here and there in Athens and running the family business I finally settled into teaching Art and Technology at the Athens School of Fine Arts.

PHILOSOPHY

To be aware of one's mortality and to act on that, and perhaps more importantly to be oneself.
