Personal interests In his private life, this passionate motorcyclist enjoys combining competence and life experience with curiosity and a thirst for adventure. For example, he rode his motorcycle from Santiago, Chile, to Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego, "at the end of the world." During his active years, his second great passion, basketball, benefited from his considerable height and his "good eye for the open man." To this day, he tries, largely unsuccessfully, to apply his good ball control and robust physique under the basketball hoop to his golf game.
