The formative years.

A bit about me

I like trying new things. In the last year I cleared ABRSM Grade 3 piano, started Salsa dancing, and have been doing improv on the side. I workout seriously — currently following 531 periodization. When I'm not doing any of that I'm usually deep in a fantasy novel, starting a new TV series, or just spending time with friends.

Music & movement
Piano (ABRSM Grade 3 ✓), Salsa dancing, improv comedy.
Fitness
Powerlifting with 531 periodization. Consistency over everything.
Downtime
Fantasy novels, new TV series, and long dinners with friends.
