Here's a bit about me; I am a music enthusiast who is fascinated into the countless genres and traditions of musical arrangement, often finding myself sitting into the early hours sampling or recording arrangements and tinkering with sounds. Gaming and pop-culture are significant parts of my life, I enjoy decompressing through strong fantasy or sci-fi stories that promote imaginative and philosophical thinking. I am a nerd at heart and regularly host strategy game nights and with friends and family. In my spare time I enjoy being with my wife, family and friends. Having a strong family bond I've developed a set of values that emphasise honesty, empathy, compassion, respect and responsibility.
