PPEERRSSOONNAALL IINNTTEERREESSTTSS I enjoy photography, in particular taking pictures of nature. I indulge in photography whenever I travel. Photography helps me slowdown and unwind. Advances in air travel has made the world a smaller place and I endeavour to see as much of this beautiful planet as possible. To this end, I set aside time to travel yearly. Traveling widely gives me a very different perspective of things in general. I enjoy music, jazz and country genres being my favourites. Music calm my nerves and helps me think better. I enjoy the occasional game of golf, or even just practicing my swing at the driving range. Golf helps me to maintain focus.
