About Me

I'm a well adapted Swiss expat with passable social skills. I try to treat others as they like to be treated and move with the rules and rhythms of the hosting household.

VICES: non-smoker, and occasional drinker. I do enjoy coffee and tea.

DIET: adventurous and open-minded omnivore.

ALLERGIES: cats & horses, Benadryl works well though.

Interests

When I'm not fervently working on electronics or computer projects, I love being outdoors, going to a show, or staying in for a movie or game night with friends. I also like to read, and I play a few instruments, badly, when no-one listens. I really like the piano.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went way out of my comfort zone when I transitioned from a day job in tech to working in healthcare, but I am so much happier now!

Teach, Learn, Share

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."
