About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn about everything!!!

ABOUT ME

I love to learn and experience new things. Passionate about philosophy and looking beyond the obvious for solutions. A great glass of wine with good company is always a winner with me!!Learning Chinese at the moment and after 10 years doing pretty good at it. woke up one day and thought why not move to china 3 weeks later i was there best way to sum me up!! I run a HR and property development company from shanghai. I am a self confessed workaholic but i love to get out and remember why we work so hard in the first place.

PHILOSOPHY

Every person that you meet can teach you something, even if it is how not to do it.... so take a little from everyone and give all you have in return.
