Blaa Blaa Blaa....

Outside from the media work I do, there's much more about myself that makes the person that I am. In addition to Filming & Editing, I also play the piano, mimicry, acting & dance Though it's not my greatest skill set, it's just something I enjoy to do. Typical with pretty much everyone else, I also enjoy watching movies, primarily comedies, action, adventures, and animated films, and television shows, especially MTV Roadies, Big Bang Theory,  and Top Gear.For any other questions about me, feel free to contact me.

Thanks for reading. Feel free to continue browsing my site to learn more about what I do.
