What I am willing to share with the world :)






1969


I was born in Montreal, Canada in 1969. ​ I have since lived in Zaire (Congo now), Guadeloupe, France, the USA and Mexico (in that order) - all pleasant experiences in their own rights.


It feels enriching to have lived in so many different places, bringing new perspectives to my life. I am a proud father of 4 wonderful and beautiful children that have proven to be a bigger challenge to raise than any business I've ever built :)


I was and remain a nerd at heart. (I sold my first software program at 13).


I love gadgets, science, technology, reading & discovering.



2019


At the age of 50, I have finally achieved my dream of being able to pick the projects that occupy the hours of my days. It's long been a dream to retire... and while I am far from retiring - it feels very much like I am... ​


For the first time of my life, I get to direct the energies on the projects that I really love and for other reasons than financial gain. For the sheer pleasure of doing things well... of doing things right... of doing the right things above all.

In the end, only 3 things matter:
How much you loved, how gently you lived and
how easily you let go of things that weren't meant for you.



The Buddah



Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right.



Henri Ford



I don't know how many push-ups I do,
I only start counting when it hurts."



Mohammed Ali



Success is not final. Failure is not fatal.
It is the courage to continue that counts.



Winston Churchill



When going through hell. Keep walking.



Winston Churchill



Success is going from failure to failure,
with no loss of enthusiasm.

A poem that has profoundly changed me





When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world.​

When I failed at changing the world, I tried to change my nation.

When I failed at changing my nation, I tried to change my town.

And when I failed there too, I tried to change my family.​


Today, I realize that the only person I could have changed is myself.

And that if I had changed myself then I could have changed my family,

and that together, perhaps, we could have changed our town, our nation and the world.
