05My Life

Off the clock. The things I do when nobody is paying me to.

Placeholder. A few sentences about life outside work: where you grew up, what a good weekend looks like, what you would do with a free month.

My dachshund

This is Diudiu, my dachshund. He was born on January 18, 2025, which makes him a Capricorn.

He is a very cute little dog who loves playing ball, getting into trouble, making housework for me, and eating.

Interests

3 things

01

Hiking

Coastlines and mountains, mostly. I like a trail that ends somewhere with a view, and I do not mind the weather on the way.

A dirt trail through coastal scrub, leading toward a blue bay with cliffs and hills behind it
A bluff trail above the California coast.
Green forested mountains with wisps of mist under a grey sky
Bamboo hills after the rain.

02

Kayaking

The Charles River in Boston, with the skyline for company. It is the best way I know to see a city without being in it.

Playing in a band

Rehearsals, small stages, and more guitars than one wall can hold.
