In my free time, I always learn more about the world, the people in it, and my work. I do a lot of learning on my own, not limited to music subjects or technology. I like to cook and to spend time with my wife. I don’t watch a lot of TVs – mainly some sports and historical stuff. I do read a lot and spend a lot of time with computers and devices.
