7 Things

A few things you probably wouldn’t know unless I told you:

  1. I’m a 1st degree Black Belt in Jiu-Jitsu and a certified instructor. I’ve studied martial arts since 1996. I was a student at the Theodorou Academy of Jiu Jitsu while I lived in Boston. Martial arts has had the greatest impact on who I am today.
  2. I think magic is pretty cool. If I see David Blaine changing coffee into money or Criss Angel sawing a woman in half, I immediately drop everything and stop what I’m doing. I love movies like “The Illusionist” and “The Prestige.” I think what’s attractive is the idea of illusions as puzzles.
  3. My background is Colombian and Italian. Growing up in a multicultural home has given me a unique perspective on things. I’m especially interested in Hispanic and Japanese cultures, and I started learning Japanese in 2010.
  4. I’m always trying something new. You’ve got to continue learning as you get older, especially if you want to be competitive in today’s job market.
  5. I’ve had a growing interest in photography over the past few years. Here’s my Flickr Photostream.
  6. My favorite writers/bloggers are Bill Simmons, Malcolm Gladwell, P.J. O’Rourke, Seth Godin and Umair Haque.
  7. I read — a lot. My favorite books are: 1) Never Eat Alone 2) First, Break All The Rules and 3) Getting Things Done. Of course, if you don’t read you can end up like this. Check out:
