Free time

Besides the obvious time spent playing video games these are some of the things I also feel very passionate about:

Hiking

I love the outdoors due in great part to the fact that I have always lived away from big cities. I especially like to hike through deep woods where I can barely see the sky.

Pets

My pets are my other full time job. Whether I’m walking and playing with my dogs or cuddling with my cat I’m most likely to be accompanied by a pet..

Gardening

A strange hobby for someone in this industry. However gardening brings me peace of mind and there is something magical about watching plants grow.

Miniatures and drawing

Although I am a programmer, I started my adventure by investigating concept art. I like drawing, painting and printing miniatures as well as building terrains.
