La şcoală, aia cîtă a făcut. La liceu, i-au apărut cîteva poezii în revista literară a şcolii, iar ăsta ar fi putut fi un început bun pentru o biografie literară, dar nu a fost. Apoi nu a mai apărut decît la televizor şi în ziare. Şi acolo, de partea greşită a microfonului. A fost reporter, editor sau prezentator la staţiile locale ale Pro TV, Antena 1, Realitatea. S-a apucat de două facultăţi, Litere şi Sociologie, şi nu a terminat-o pe niciuna. Are de gînd să nu o termine nici pe a treia. S-a apucat şi de doi copii, iar pe ăştia încă îi desăvîrşeşte.
