Interests

Apart from spending time doing research and developing new concepts, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. In the summer, I am an avid swimmer and enjoy spending time on my boat. During the colder months here in Cyprus, I enjoy skiing up in the mountains.

When forced indoors, I enjoy spending time with family and friends as well as wathcing comedy movies. I spend a large amount of my free time exploring events and happenings around the world in a wide range of subjects such as technology, history, politics, entertainment, travelling, etc.
