My Personal Interests
I love running and training for long distance endurance races, having completed numerous marathons and ultra-marathons (races over 50km). I prefer to run on trails and hilly terrain and simply spending time with nature. I am passionately interested in travel, meditation, the metaphysical part of life, contemplating our existence and the power of the human consciousness. Of course, before all of this, I enjoy spending my free time with my girlfriend Melody and our kids.
