Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To learn some stuff, get to know new people, have a few laughs, and do awesome things!
ABOUT ME
I'm a musician for the most part (piano, cello, composing) - but I love all sorts of things - movies, sailing, hiking, eating, exploring, and generally trying new stuff!
I'm a pretty relaxed and laid back person, but I try to do things to their fullest, and to take life with a sense of humour.
PHILOSOPHY
“It is my belief, you cannot deal with the most serious things in the world unless you understand the most amusing” - Churchill
