I am open-minded, good-humoured, and a smartass

Working a global corporation

When it comes to books, I read almost everything. However, good old science fiction or detective story is the perfect read for a late evening after work. Otherwise it's mostly work-related. At the moment I'm still on Microtrends by M.J.Penn&E.K.Zaleskine and Nudge-Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth and Happiness by R.H.Thaler&C.R.Sunstein.

As to movies, my favorites are Orlando, Milk, Running with Wolves, the Shadow and Boondock Saints.

Good food is essential for good living. Jewish, Italian, French or Scandinavian will all do perfectly fine (as long as it's fresh and lovingly prepared).

Music taste is truly eclectic - I prefer classical music (just think about Jarroussky performing baroque operas) or jazz. Then again, I really like Madredeus, Zemfira, U2, Sting, Brian Eno, Koop, Sigur Ros, The Yardbirds and Monica Zetterlund.

Family, friends, books, good conversation and good jokes, music.
