I grew up and still live in a small mountain village in the southern parts of the swiss Alps. I have 2 brothers and 3 sisters, I am the eldest son. I studied russian litterature and philosophy in Fribourg and Moscow. I am a kind of free nomadic man : I go where my heart calls me. I have never worked in a office, I did a lot of different and interesting jobs using all my manual, social, intellectual faculties. Since 6 years I am discovering the fabulous world of animals by working with them as shepherd during the summer in the mountains with our local "fighting" cows. The animals touched deeply my heart: I stopped totally eating them.
