Do you have any fun or exciting hobbies?

I have a giant aquarium where I’m experimenting with tweaking the ecosystem in order to achieve maximum self-sustainability.

If you could be any superhero who would you be and why?

Dr. Manhattan! I really love how detail-oriented he is because of his watchmaker background.

Have you ever been told you look like someone famous? If so, who?

Yeah, it seems that some people think that I am Eminem…

Hanging out at the beach, but, unfortunately, my skin is not sun friendly. A few years ago, I spent a whole day at the beach, and I ended up with a nearly 3rd-degree burn.

What is one thing you did as a kid that you should have gotten in trouble for, but never caught?

Keeping in mind that my mother recently developed great interest in the internet, I would rather skip this one.

Tell us one thing no one knows about you.

I HATE bananas, like…literally.

If you could travel anywhere in the world where would you go and why?

Tokyo, Japan. I love Japanese visual culture and always wanted to immerse myself in the city.

I like cherry-picking shows from National Geographic, Animal Planet, and Discovery Channel.
