Enjoy travelling every chance I get. I've lived all over from LA to Europe and back. Unfortunately, work gets in the way more often than I'd like. Enjoy maintaining that balance between career/having fun. Definitely work to live, not vice-versa...

Trilingual (Spanish, German, English) and still trying for more....(I think Chinese is next..but Portugues Brasileiro sounds so damn good!)

DJing is a passion and an artform. Music keeps me both passionate and inpired. Good film can have that same effect. Have a great circle of friends (re:more inspiration!). Always enjoying the finer things in life....whether going out at night, dining at new/favorite spots...getting up to the mountains to hit the snow....soccer games with my team on Sunday (Viva Internacional SC carajo!!)....or just being outside and taking advantage of living on the coast of Cali...too much to do and so little time.....you only live once....

Interesting, witty, fun, sincere, intelligent, and cool people........
