Other Interests
(Attempting to) keep fit, traveling, design and painting and, when the weather is warm enough, relaxing at the beach and falling off surf boards. When its cold enough, falling down mountains on skis.

I also love to keep learning about design and information systems through both nature's own examples and documented design process books.
