About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Start a new life as masters student in Oslo with my family

ABOUT ME

Hi people,
I am a Czech born Canadian raised young man, and I live together with my girlfriend of over 5 years, Lena Gross.
My interests in life are martial arts, music and mathematics. And I am usually involved in at least 2 of the above at any point in my life.
In the past few years I have been playing classical guitar and have put up some songs on myspace

Otherwise I like to meet new people, and growing up in Toronto has given me a taste for multiculturalism. Anybody from anywhere can stay on my couch if the couch is free and the person is respectful.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live!
