About Personal Stuff
I like spending time in the country with my family. I have two very active kids, 9 and 6 years old. Free time activities include keeping fit, running (10 Km up to half marathon). Also playing golf and squash and helping to coach the boys football team. I especially like to read, thrillers and crime books and some science fiction, with favourites currently being Jo Nesbo, Ian Banks, and Salman Rushdie. Watching classic films and llistening to music especially Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie and U2. If I need to chill to love Magdalena Kožená.
