ABOUT ME
I am calm, I like sports, I want to learn how to dance blues and deep house-dances, I enjoy my work: we help other companies to prepare for the digital future (technologies, drones, virtual reality, Internet-of-Things)

EXCITED about sociology and psychology

Philosophy: life is a journey and we are tourists who design our routes. If we want, we can make it challenging sometimes and sometimes – just relaxing. We can take friends or spouse with us, or we can walk it alone. We are free to decide. What I personally really want – is to have an exciting, not a boring journey.

I did a lot of yacht-racing, now I learn blues dance. I enjoy classical jazz and deep house music=) now I work in a consulting company.
