When I’m not being a lawyer…

In my free time, I usually exercise at the gym, practice box and play soccer, practice wakeboard, surf, ski, I like to read, listen to music, walk my dogs, spend time with my friends and close people, as well as travel and see new places. I consider myself a diving fan.
