Born and raised in the USA I spent part of my youth in Germany and Iran. With the completion of my training as a banker at Deutsche Bank AG. I started to study law at the University of Bonn, Germany. During this time I led adventure tours in Africa, Australia, Canada and North America.  Emphasis was in Asia, mainly in Nepal, where I led two expeditions to Mount Everest Base Camp. 

In 1998, now approved as an Attorney at Law, I moved to     San Francisco California. At the University of California at Berkeley I studied international Trade and Commerce and advised companies from Silicon Valley and Canada in business development and sales related matters.  

Since 2005, I have been working for Google Germany'at their HQ in Hamburg... and still love it.

During my leisure time I like to travel and go paragliding. I also enjoy collecting vintage wristwatches and restoring classic cars.
