"Keep that kid busy!" said my teachers to my mom. I learned early: I need mental stimulation at school, and physical activity outdoors.

I love the mental stimulation of scientific studies. But the engineering path is missing on-the-ground application.

I decided to level up my Business skills with a Master's degree at ESSEC Business School in Paris. My new goal: become a finance bro!

Loved culture, the region, and the food. Liked the job. Hate the finance tower atmosphere. But I learn a lot!

Things are starting to feel right. I spend my energy between entrepreneurship, playing football and open air parties.

I decide to travel as slow as a snail from France to Central Asia: by bicycle and horseback. While on the road, I co-founded a photojournalism studio.

I've finally come full circle to the mental and physical balance that allows me to thrive. Today I split my time between product manager projects, my family & outdoor activities.
