About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to work for the world and make it a better place to live

ABOUT ME

I lived in Col. for 24 years. I made some round trips around central america and i´m living in Germany since 1999. I work there as Mechanical Engineer for BMW and Rolls Royce. In the Afternoons i help my sister in her bussines. She work at a Kindergarten www.casa-luz.de. I make there the whole administration issues. I like to travel and visit my family. My twin brother lives in the USA and my mother and little sister in Colombia.

PHILOSOPHY

1: to work as much as possible, so i do not have time to criticize other people (criticize is for me a sign of having too much time free, without occupation)
2: to communicate and communicate and communicate, so we do not have to use weapons. People begin to use weapons, when they can not communicate anymore. If we use arguments and patience to try to understand what the other means (communication) then we can try to convince the other instead of force them to think the way we think.
3. Tikkun Olam or Matthew 20:20
