1. It is possible to teach an old dog new tricks.
Though I’m no spring chicken, I’m not antiquated in my knowledge and views–
I just finished a bachelor in Web Development this year, together with co-students half my age.)
I love being behind the camera and then the computer during the editing process.
- First recording, then perfecting the story being told.
I am passionate for all areas of communication, and engage myself in the projects I’m involved in.
Synergy is more important for me than personal gain.
