Me in 10 Seconds

I work as a product manager.

I divide my time between drinking copious amounts of coffee, going rock climbing, XC mountain biking and attempting to learn piano improvisation.

Currently mulling over this, this and also this, while I plan my next rock climbing trip (Arco in Northern Italy is likely to be next).

Originally from South Africa. Now living in Calgary, Canada.
