About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To become an International Man of Mystery :P

ABOUT ME

My life is so planned usually that I like to be a leaf in the wind when I have my chance to travel. Love having a good time but no going overboard. I am very fortunate in the opportunities I've been given.

PHILOSOPHY

My father once said to me, "Any good man will want no other man to be better than him, except his own son." I try to live by this and live as if each day is my last. If you remember that each day could be your last you will appreciate the people in your life a whole lot.

Interests

Science, SCUBA, dancing salsa, art and architecture, poetry, nature, getting in touch with history. I like meeting people, hearing their stories, and making genuine connections with meaningful people.
