About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meeting people through music, art and traveling

ABOUT ME

I enjoy hiking and nature as well as meeting people with a story to tell. I am taking a year or two sabbatical from work in order to develop my creative side and to travel. I carry an instrument while I travel and I love to meet and jam with musician I meet on the road. My dream is to combine mathematics and art.

PHILOSOPHY

Embrace your uniqueness to do something spectacular
