CURRENT MISSION

To get the most out of life whilst giving more back. Ultimately I strive to have a net positive impact during my life and want to meet as many new people and experience as many new things as I can on the way.

ABOUT ME

So... I'm 31 and have been living in Oslo, Norway since January 2017 after a year in Nigeria.

I love anything that involves the water or the outdoors and try to get wet as much as possible! I like the philosophy of you should 'work to live, not live to work' and stick to this as much as possible.

My winters are spent snowboarding and my summers travelling and enjoying time outside in the sun to maintain that work life balance.

Travel is another passion of mine and do so whenever I can. I love meeting new people and learning from as many different walks of life as I can. I feel extremely lucky that my new job really does merge work and play in this respect.

Food, beer, wine and coffee also play a pivotal role and there is a window dedicated to at least one of these on a daily basis. Excellent.

All in all I'm a laid back kinda guy who loves a good time whether it be kicking back at home with some good company and a few brews, out on the town at night, or off chasing some waves or powder. I'm pretty much up for giving anything a go at least once...

I'm a hippy at heart and have a strong passion for environmental protection and the idea equality across all living beings.

PHILOSOPHY

Peace - Virtue - Kindness - Compassion - Happiness - Respect - Honesty. QED.

Take as much from life as you can whilst giving back more than you take.
