ABOUT ME

I am a married father of two teen age daughters from Hamburg, Germany (Well: from Europe, that sounds better to me). I work in the IT business, although I have a degree from a hotel management school - things change in life. I love good food and a glas of good wine. But after sport activities, I also enjoy a cold beer from time to time. Music is something very important for me, either on my own piano (quite limited, unfortunately) or with my favourite Jazz or R&B-styles (e.g. Jamie Cullumm, Pharrell Williams, Joe Sample, Amy Winehouse ...)
I am open minded to the world (who isn`t on this platform!), sometimes a little too loud, sometimes a little too fast speaking, but overall reliable, entertaining and polite to my people. I love my wife and my children, still I need some time to spend on my own thoughts and together with other people than my usual surroundings.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep up your curiosity about the world and its population - there is so much to discover, even right around the next corner!
Auf Deutsch: Don't Panic!
