CURRENT MISSION

* Do more through of my charitable organization, Annemarie Foundation, to help those in need.

* Become a good story teller

ABOUT ME

Please visit www.annemariefoundation.org

I love nature and every form of life: humans, animals, fish and plants.
I love to listen, if you have a story to tell. I love to travel.
I am an everyday man and I carry maths, science, passion, love and poetry in my heart.
I believe in beautiful stories: If you love "Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus", there is something we love in common.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that there is an angel in every human being; probably in every form of life.

I live to love, to help, to feel, to learn; to enjoy, to work (to do my duty)
