I was born on a warm, sunny day in May 1973, in Athens, Greece. I live in Athens, as well as my family, which consists of my father and a brother. I am the eldest and my brother is three years younger. When I was twenty-five years old my mother passed away. The path I’ve followed in my life has been influenced by different events I experienced and according to the circumstances I found myself in.

As a child growing up in Athens, I was fortunate to attend well-regarded public schools, first the 12^th primary school and then the 57^th high school. I received a lot of awards during that time. This is also the time when my aunt introduced me to her basketball team (Ethnikos Ellinoroson) and I joined the team as a new basketball player. All the boys of the school provided me with strong educational and moral values that have remained with me throughout my life. It is this foundation, along with the continual support of my family, educators and friends that have allowed me to embrace my dream of engineering.

I received a Master's Diploma in electrical engineering and I hold two master's degrees. The first is a specialization in quality systems and the second in energy production and management. In cooperation with the lighting laboratory, my co-workers and I completed my first innovative project “Lighting system airport runways with L.E.D. and electrical design according to the standards of ICAO / Annex 14” in 1999. I worked to support myself throughout all my university studies.

I have been working for twenty-two years now and my activities during the last thirteen years have to do with the area of renewable energy sources and energy saving in the electromechanical building installations.

As for my personality, I think I am friendly, honest and respectful to others. My favorite hobby is cynology.

As far as some of my plans for the future are concerned, I suppose they depend on a few factors such as my marital status, my parents’ health, our nation's economy, and many other things.
