Ever since my first international experience brought me to Germany, I have had the interest to live and work overseas. Other cultures have fascinated me and learning the local language is the best way to learn other cultures, break down stereotypes and find common ground. I have been to over 50 countries world wide for business and pleasure and look forward to seeing new places and meeting new people.  My wife is German and we are raising our children to be bilingual. 

Mein Lebensmotto oder Lieblingszitat?
Focus on the solution, not on the problem.
Auf einer einsamen Insel gestrandet, würde ich mich für diese drei Luxusgegenstände entscheiden.
A solar powered satellite messenger, flare gun and an Aperol Spritz.
Wenn ich eine Superkraft für diesen Tag hätte, welche wäre es und warum?
The best super power would be to fly around like Superman. Now what to do with luggage?
