About Me

CURRENT MISSION

getting back on the right path to complete my personal legend.

ABOUT ME

Musician, composer teacher. I'm a non conformist. I'm fairly extroverted. I beleive to be able to put people at ease quite quickly. Having been a foreigner for over half of my life, I learned to be tolerant and my profession forced me to become patient. I can deal with people of all ages and nationalities.

PHILOSOPHY

Hard to express. If you read The Alchemist by Paolo Cohelo, then you know pretty well what my life philosophy is. Here is a little motto of mine: If you take life to seriously, it stops to be fun.

Interests

Of course I like to travel. I like to cook. In the past 29 years I gathered a fairly extensive knowledge about wine. I compose music. I love theater, art, ballet, everything that is being done on a stage.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Alchemist, being mysticaly and esotericly inclined, I read a lot about these topics. LA Crash, The Last Samurai, I like comedies and Jim Jarmush. I listen to almost everything; progressive rock, classical, jazz, funk, soul, country, pop. NO Speed or heavy metal.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Against all odds having become that what I am now; a respectable person

Teach, Learn, Share

I know quite a lot about education and performing arts.
I'm fascinated by foreign cultures. My main interests right now are about Irland, Schottland, Argentina, Chili, Peru and the 3 baltic republics.
