ABOUT ME
I'm a nice guy, and that's the first thing you'll notice about me. Obsessed with 2-wheeled vehicles be they with pedals or a motor. I'm studying art and design. Most of my family lives in Greece and I spend lots of time there. I've been vegetarian for years. Try to take care of myself. Love travel and the outdoors.
PHILOSOPHY
What's there to say. I'm a pretty boring person really. Never wrote a song, built a house, authored a book, cured a disease or won a war.
I don't know if I'll ever etch my mark on the world. I'm not sure I want to. For now my goal in life is to experience as much of the world as I can in the time life gives me.

Music, Movies, and Books
Movies: I like a lot documentaries about art and sports, foreign films, indy flicks, high-budget action movies, and animation.
Music: where do I start? Give me a couple beers and I'll chat your ear off.
Books: Know what, it's really hard for me to sit down and read. Most of my reading is sci-fi/fantasy audio books on my ipod while I'm at the gym.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Participated in mountain bike racing for 4 seasons
Worked as a freelance photojournalist for a small bike magazine.
Lived 2 years in Athens, Greece
3 cross-country motorcycle trips.
Teach, Learn, Share
You'd never guess by looking at me, but I'm mechanically-inclined. I'm an expert with bicycles and I know a thing or two about motorized vehicles as well.
I also love to draw and would be glad to teach you what I know.
