Personal Background

  • Outdoor Adventurer

    I’m an avid outdoor enthusiast who thrives on adventure. Whether it’s hiking, rock climbing, backpacking, or snowboarding, I spend every ounce of my free time exploring the great outdoors. From scaling rocky cliffs to carving down snowy slopes, I find joy and inspiration in nature’s beauty.

  • Music Enthusiast

    My passion for music goes beyond attending and photographing live concerts, I also play the guitar and write music in my free time. From Jazz, to Bluegrass, to Classic Rock, there’s something incredibly fulfilling about creating melodies and harmonies, and being part of the vibrant energy of live music scenes.

  • Explorer and Connector

    Whether I’m with a group of friends exploring Costa Rica or embarking on a solo adventure in Japan, I cherish every moment of discovery. Traveling allows me to connect with people and cultures from all around the world, learning their stories and forming new meaningful memories.

“In the hustle of daily life, we often overlook the small details that add richness to our experiences. From the way sunlight filters through leaves and the sound of laughter in a crowded room.

When we start to slow down and pay attention the beauty around us, appreciating everyday beauty, we become more connected to the world and people around us. We turn inwards and live more intentionally; we begin to notice how much there is to be grateful for and find joy in the little things.”
