Dr. Avi Zadok

I’m married to Meirav, (by far my better half for the last 17 years), and I’m the loving, proud and sleepless father of 9-years-old Ori, 7-years-old Maayan and 4-years-old Yael.

My main hobby is running. I’m not particularly fast, but I’m pretty consistent. I ran 8 marathons so far, and hope more would follow soon.
