I worked as a field archaeologist for many years before becoming a lawyer. I have always been interested in History, Anthropology, and foreign languages.
I have played the guitar since I was fourteen years old and I also play around on the ukulele, mandolin, and piano. I would also like to write a novel someday.

I also enjoy birdwatching and cooking.
