Life outside work

Denis, off the clock.

I'm Denis. I like old motorcycles, fishing, and getting lost in a book. I train at the gym and follow American football. This part of the site is about those interests, photographs, and everyday life.

Stories from my life

All personal stories ↗
Old wooden houses on a green mountainside above a forested valley, with a narrow winding road.
Old houses in the mountains
Two fishing rods beside still water reflecting an orange sky, with mountains on the horizon.

Things I keep coming back to

Motorcycles
Old machines and the quiet work of looking after them.
Fishing
Time by the water, from preparing the tackle to waiting for a bite.
Reading
Art history, anthropology, consciousness, and the history of civilizations. My reading wanders.
Training
The gym and staying physically active are part of my routine.
American football
I follow the NFL and enjoy the game, its tactics, and the decisions that shape a play.
