I was born in the City... City? Village... ? Whatever. I was born in Marl which is located 70 km north of Düsseldorf. After elementary school I upgraded myself to the Loekamp-Gymansium which I left in mutual consent with my teachers- bless you! Not sure what I would like to with my life at the age of 16 I was sure that I
a. would not like to get in involved with any construction job and
b. would not like to get dressed for work other than with jeans and shirt
As we will see, I finally failed with both. The best option was to learn economics and therefor I changed school and went to the Hans-Böckler-Kollegschule in Marl, which I finished successfully and could therefor gather a training at the HÜLS AG which I finished half a year ahead of the normal schedule and directly went to Hannvoer to work in the companies sales office. I was 21 years old at that time and yes, I got married already. Together we had 6 nice years and became a real family together with our elder son. In Hannover I studied economics at the Leibniz Academy and became Betriebswirt. We left Hannover in 1995 and arrived in Marl where I worked in sales 2 more years, we got our second son, too. In 1997 I was offered a job in our marketing department and worked there until we changed our organization in 2003. As my boss at that time was of the same opinion, this gave me the possibility to realize an idea to build up a network of distributors to support our sales force. I could not really finish this as in 2005 I got a new position as a project leader for the asphalt project in our division. Now.. I got involved with construction and I am wearing suit, white collar and ties. I take it as carneval the whole year and frankly speaking I don't mind to wear this stuff today.
I am travelling a lot and the new job brought me to many different places in the world and time by time I will show some of the pictures I made during my trips.
Still I love playing football/soccer, without saying that I am playing well. In our village I am member of the Alten Herren or for the non-german visitors of this site: Player older than 32. On the left you can see my two favorite players: Rafinha and Marcelo Bordon, both are with Schalke 04 and really like how they play.
