My Story
Let´s get
personal
Aside from my professional career, I am an enthusiastic athlete, a family man and I love traveling. Above all, sporting activity in nature gives me strength, inspiration & the stamina necessary to master both the challenges of daily and professional life.
Similar to sport, it is necessary to have a clear vision & strategy in business as well and to work sustainably, disciplined and continuously on the implementation. In addition, my family and education as a certified nutrition trainer helps me to achieve a good balance between body, mind and soul.
