Hobbies

I am passionate about freestyle skiing, where each fall is a learning experience. Some jumps require complete focus and confidence, as there’s no room for mistakes. It’s about leaving fear behind, pushing forward, and trusting in my abilities to improve with each run.

I also have a strong interest in mountain biking. The adrenaline rush from navigating trails is something I truly enjoy, and it keeps me engaged and challenged.

I am a motor enthusiast—anything with a powerful sound is music to my ears. I take great pride in not just appreciating motors, but also working on them. I find it fascinating to learn about the inner workings of cars and motorcycles, and my engineering background provides me with a solid foundation for these hands-on projects.

Video making is another passion of mine, allowing me to express my creativity and bring ideas to life. If I have a concept, I make it happen, and I enjoy the process of bringing my vision to reality.

Finally, I am passionate about music. I played the organ for five years and continue to practice in my free time, always striving to improve my skills.
