I am involved in a local community centre, where I volunteer as an English teacher for locals and a
teacher of Croatian for foreigners. I have also practiced a plethora of sports including basketball,
karate, football, tennis, table tennis, swimming and cycling. I am also a musician playing in a band
which is currently recording its second album. The band exists since 2007. and I have had numerous
opportunities to manage concerts, festivals and clubs we were playing at. We had at least two
hundred concerts with audience number ranging from twenty to sixteen thousand and this experience
erased the fear of public performance from my mind. We have also received many accolades
throughout our career. I also am very proficient with technology and like to build things around the
house. Me and one of my bandmates started to build guitars recently and have built 3 of them so far.
