CURRENT MISSION

To maybe find a new career, continue to learn Spanish, and to figure out the next place I want to visit...

ABOUT ME

I'm pretty well travelled, having spent 2 years wandering around Asia in my twenties. I have visited many countries in Europe as well as the US a few times and a few countries in the Middle East. I was originally trained as an architect but gave that up to become a 3D artist and more recently have begun working as a photographer. It's always been important to me that I enjoy my work because for better or for worse that is what I spend most of my time doing. I've just returned from taking a sabbatical in South America where I spent 6 months learning some Spanish and more about that fascinating continent and it's people.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn to be happy.
