Interests

Interested in quality acoustics and audio equipment via ten year background as a guitarist. In this time, I’ve also made an electric guitar and am in the process of making an acoustic guitar. Together with an appreciation of fine wrist watches, motorsport is another interest, giving a chance to practice photography skills.
