I GREW UP
in rural Bavaria surrounded by mountains, chicken, pigs, cows and other human beings.
After having startet in the movie industry, I settled to France to follow a French girl I got married to. There we raised 3 children, 4 cats and thousands of cherry tomatoes. Meanwhile I worked at the TV as a Video Editor, then Creative Producer. After 25 years I created my own company, I succeeded in writing business plans, getting fund-rising, hiring staff, speeding up in social networks and how to crash the baby. Holly cow, I learned a lot.
Now I live in Berlin. And I continue to invent, to create and to surprise in English, French and German.
