Love Listening to Music (Music of All Kinds)
I thrive in chaos, almost in an addictive way. Music is my refuge, allowing me to find calm and enjoy the unpredictable game of life. The Beatles, Paul McCartney, classical music, and the sounds of the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, as well as the latest pop music of today, bring me immense joy.
Fashion – I Love Good Quality Clothing
I love witnessing people at their best! Despite being a new immigrant and running her janitorial business, my mother always presented herself impeccably. It was through her that I developed an appreciation for high-quality fashion, and I nurtured this interest by watching countless episodes of Fashion Television during my upbringing.
Ride Harley Davidson Motorcycle – Urban Bikers
Riding Harleys was something I never thought I would be into. My best friend, John, had a motorcycle, and there was something that compelled me to give it a try. I had always been fearful and cautious around motorcycles in the past. However, after a few trips across the country, you couldn’t separate me from my bike! My riding buddies affectionately call me Ace, and I proudly consider myself an urban biker for life!
I Love Traveling
My girlfriend, Rosina, who is now my wife, worked for Air Canada during our mid-20s, and we had the opportunity to fly all over the world before settling down and starting a family. We embarked on adventures in China, Italy, Mexico, and explored various parts of the United States. Even after having children, our love for travel never waned. In fact, our youngest, Maximo, took his first trip when he was just 3 months old. We have a long list of places we still want to visit and explore, and our thirst for adventure remains unquenched!
I Love Entertaining and Hosting Parties
My wife, Rosina, and I have been hosting large parties throughout the years we have been together. I particularly enjoy throwing parties in our backyard. Right from the day I met her, Rosina has shown a natural talent for event planning. She loves socializing with her close friends and family. I often come up with the whimsical idea of inviting 100 people over to our house, and Rosina works her magic to make it happen. The amusing part is that while she handles all the planning and organization, I often receive a lot of credit since it was initially my playful suggestion!
I love to Cook and BBQ ``I can make a mean pizza``
Cooking is a passion I developed later in life. It all began when I had a strong desire to learn how to roast pork, a cherished tradition in my culture. Croatians have a deep love for roasted pork, so I approached my cousin, Tomo, and asked him to teach me. Through an apprenticeship under his guidance and a tremendous amount of hard work, I eventually mastered the skills needed to prepare the BBQ roast on my own.
I thoroughly enjoy exploring and experimenting with different recipes, and I love exchanging culinary creations with friends. This passion has inspired me to write a cookbook for my family and friends. I believe that preparing a great meal requires love and dedication to the learning process. Alongside cooking for and learning from my loved ones, I continuously strive to perfect the art of cuisine.
I Love My ``Peaceful Alone Time``
I left home at the age of 19 to embark on my own journey in life. I have always possessed a strong sense of independence, and I genuinely appreciate moments of solitude. Whether it’s enjoying peaceful moments in my backyard, listening to music, or immersing myself in a book to explore a topic of interest, these moments recharge me.
While chaos fuels my professional life, I value the tranquility that comes from being alone. It is essential to venture out, away from others, to rediscover oneself from time to time. People often project their expectations onto us, attempting to define who they think we are. It is empowering to form our own opinions and define our own identity.
Dressing Up for Fancy Parties
I absolutely adore witnessing people at their best, whether it’s at galas, weddings, or New Year’s Eve events. The joy of mingling with friends and family, all dressed up in a tuxedo while my wife dons a stunning dress, fills me with excitement and happiness. The weeks leading up to these occasions, preparing and shopping for the evening, are truly exhilarating. The positive and festive atmosphere created by everyone involved is truly infectious.
I Love Super Cars
Like every kid, I had dreams of owning a fast sports car. However, throughout my adult life, I found myself driving work trucks and vans, and the dream of having that fancy sports car faded away as other priorities took precedence.
Everything changed when I attended my first Formula One race in Montreal, Canada. The race car drivers and the incredible machines they manoeuvred fascinated me. Shortly after, during my travels in Dubai, I rented a Ferrari and joined a group of supercar enthusiasts. Experiencing firsthand what these supercars were capable of in the most luxurious city in the world was a moment that will forever stay with me.
From that point on, I was completely captivated. I seize every opportunity to network with friends and colleagues who own and appreciate these magnificent machines. It has become a passion of mine, constantly fuelling my love for these beautiful automobiles.
