More details about your skills

I have studied business basics in my hometowns small college. I worked as a services manager at Ventspils High technology park. Mostly that was making sure everything is fine with the building and company's are happy with everything, Also there were some creative work, because we were creating and maintaining a small science centre for children. Also that is where I was sent to learn photography because the company bought a camera and I was chosen to be the photographer. After 8 years of that I left the job and slowly started to boost my photography as a freelancer. I participated in a bussiness incubator and wrote a business plan and got a grant to boost my business. That is what I have been doing since. I tried different types of photography. weddings, sports, real estate architecture, other events and products, and worked for a newspaper as a press photographer. The thing I love the most is music, so concert photography is a thing I love shooting the most. Also events and things that don't need much directing. Also I am a member of a small photography club, that is a different photography and quite challenging as well.

I guess I like to do physical work and also creative stuff. I'm not afraid of getting. tired.
I am good at planning, but not so good at organising other people.

I speak pretty good english and a little russhian. Latvian is my native language.

People say that I am good with children. I guess I understand them better than other adults. They are not as judgemental as adults, so I feel good with them.

For 3 years I have been an amateur professional tug of war (rope pulling) sportsman, maybe that is somehow usefull :D

Special skills:
I can open a wine bottle using a shoe. (not always)

Age

34

What else ...

I love listening to music and going to live concerts.
I like sports and physical activities, to make my body live longer and my mental health in a good shape.
I like walking, I try to have 10 000 steps each day.
I love cycling, in Latvia I cycled all through the year. That is my main transport.
I like to go cold plunging in the winter and swimming whenever I can.
I play board games, my brother is a bit nuts in this department, so I have played quite a bit. My favourites are carcasonne, uno, phase 10, Mafia or werewolves, those that do not require speed.

I am a shy person, but if You get to know me i can be fun to be around.
