CURRENT MISSION

roots down, sails up. the city is my temple and the river is my sea. I miss the ocean, but make the best of inland living.

ABOUT ME

I'm a relaxed guy who doesn't take himself too seriously. I've lived in the US for a good part of my life, mostly the SF area. So I'm as much an Ami as I am German. Enjoy meeting new people and making new experiences in life.

PHILOSOPHY

Be sincere, be kind. Avoid judgement. Keep an open mind. Have fun whenever possible and enjoy the moment.
