I am a Buddhist Monk living as a layperson, a Holistic Coach, a Consultant, a Writer, and a Teacher.
Originally from Florence, Italy, I reside in Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany. I have lived and worked in several European countries, including England, Scotland, Ireland, Spain, and France.

I have authored three non-fiction books, and I am writing 2 more.

In 1999 I wrote a book titled "Small Dictionary of Daily IT - Piccolo Dizionario di Informatica Quotidiana", published by EdUP.

My second book, Free to Achieve (2019), guides individuals into a deeper understanding of who they are, what they want, and why they do things the way they do. This understanding sets them free to achieve their life purpose.

365 (plus 1) Seeds For Thought (2021) is a collection of my thoughts from a year.

I specialize in and teach Neijia 内家 - Internal Martial Arts (Tai chi chuan - 太極拳, Xingyiquan - 形意拳, and Baguazhang - 八卦掌), Chin Na, Self Defense.

I also teach Yoga, in the tradition of Patanjali's Ashtanga Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and Yin Yoga. I study and practice Tantra.

In my free time, I enjoy practising calligraphy and handwriting, repairing mechanical watches, and collecting and sometimes making film cameras.
I also find relaxation in complex activities such as solving calculus, chemistry, and physics problems, working on data clusters to find unexpected correlations, and designing algorithms.

Finally, I care deeply about supporting ADHD, Autism, and extremely severe allergic reactions (specifically SJS - Steven-Johnson Syndrome and TEN - Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis) due to my condition and experiences.

I am and have always been a supporter of sustainability, a fair economy without the excesses of capitalism, environmental protection, inclusion, and civil rights.

I am an ally of the LGBTQI+ community.
