I'm a loyal individual who brings energy and enthusiasm to everything I do. I start most mornings with exercise, sunlight, and a strong black coffee. Prioritizing my health and routine helps me stay focused and make the most of each day. After COVID, I sold my house, changed my business model, and went fully remote, enabling me the freedom to work while traveling. I spent three years living as a digital nomad in Spain, Bali, the Canary Islands, the USA, Mexico, and other sunny parts of Europe. In 2024, I met my partner in the US and we decided to base ourselves in Mexico. We're planning to move to the USA in the next 12 months. As I've gotten older, I've become more passionate about fitness, with running now my favourite hobby. I've completed three marathons so far, including Mexico City, Dublin, and Los Angeles lined up over the next 12 months. I've recently picked up Padel and regularly play with friends. My other passion is cooking, something I've loved since I was a small child. After a full day of work, training, and cooking, I like to head to the beach to catch the sunset.
