Interests

Proud dad

Like any dad, I try to balance work life with family life. I have two kids and I like to take them to activities and play with them as much as possible. Childhood does not come twice.

Amateur baker

I love Lemon Meringue Pie, so much that in order to avoid bugging people to cook it, I learned to do it myself. After that, there was no stopping: tiramisu, Castella cake, flan. Do you have a sweet tooth as well?
