Hobbies/Interests

Whenever I am not at work, busy for work or studying for work, I like to spend time with my wife & kids. I like to go out for a walk with my dog, bike, swim. I periodically get together with friends, and we chat about current life events, play a game, have a good time together, or visit the theater/concerts. I like to listen to various music flavours but mainly rock music. I like to pretend that I can drive as fast as any F1-driver in my F1 simulator, and I like to play the guitar or learn for my guitar lessons.

I read on a daily basis, sometimes about coaching, management related books, or just a fantasy book to just relax when I can.
