I do not concern myself as a widely recognized person like Sting,
Queen Elizabeth II or Umberto Eco, so I haven't the slightest idea what
could have made you looking for my Web page. This homepage was designed
just for fun. However, just in case, I provided some basic information
about myself:
In the case you are one of my Polish students, you can find some may-be-valuable
information here.
