CURRENT MISSION

Having as much fun as humanly possible without actually killing myself

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Israel.
My folks came here from Germany in the early 70's so I was brought up with German and Hebrew as my mother tongues. Got me kinda confused at times as a small child but now I got them sorted, I think.
Graduated from high school in 2006 and did my 3 year mandatory military service in the Navy as a medic's instructor.

My biggest passion is snowboarding. Yes, I know, there isn't much snow in Israel, but my folks got me into skiing when I was little and when I turned 12 I decided riding a single plank was cooler than two. It's been an ongoing love story since. Every year I travel to the Alps in search of snow. In 2005 I started working for a snowboard shop in Tel Aviv, to actually make some money while I enjoy myself.
This past winter (2010/11) I spent in Revelstoke, BC, Canada riding crazy pow for two months straight. Best time of my life!
