Sports, photography

I like to go for obstacle runs and take my kids with me.


Photography is part of my daily routine, at work to help educate the people on the workfloor. Especially with multiple languages spoken a good photo or video speaks volumes.


On time off I like to take pictures of family and surroundings as a document of time spent at home with family.
