CURRENT MISSION

share my optimism for the future and what I know to make life better, but also improve myself by learning from others

ABOUT ME

having convinced my wife to go from Germany to France, we educate our 6 kids in a french-german way. From early on they learn that there are different ways to live, and we hope that in that way they find easier their place in the globalized world we live in today. - I am working in medical industry developing x-ray systems, in a global company, learning a lot from the contact with different cultures.

PHILOSOPHY
