CURRENT MISSION

To meet you!

ABOUT ME

Entrepreneur in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Studying in communication at UQAM in Montreal.

I would say I'm really curious guy with a growing desire to understand the world we live in. I've worked in many domains as a Camp Counselor or as a Program Director in a radio station. My last job was an internship in a environnemental NGO, working in a local campaign for the use of bike in the city. I aim to work as research assistant while doing my master degree.

I enjoy many kinds of music, I used to play guitar but I don't have time anymore, I am addicted to Google Maps and TED.com, I don't watch TV, I am deeply interested in Economics, Philosophy and Politic.

PHILOSOPHY

I enjoy life when it is intense, beautiful and challenging. At my age, I am looking for challenges and changes. I presume I will settle down a little when I'm gonna grow old...
