CURRENT MISSION

Saving up all the money for a big journey!

ABOUT ME

Well all about me. That would be a pretty long story, although an exciting one! ;-)
I grew up in peaceful Austria, successfully graduated from Kindergarden, then joined the local soccer team at the age of 5 for 3 weeks, then I had a great career as a boy scout - I stayed with them for 3 months. Then as usual school wanted to hire me and they made me a nice offer, so I decided to go to school. The candies were worth it. Well I discovered the music when I was about 6 and started playing the accordeon and my sisters piano at home. When I was later in high school the guitar and singing came to my attention. I fell in love with old soul music and Jazz songs pretty soon and wanted to play in bands. What I did and still do.
Besides, professional life demanded more qualifications from me as the years passed by so I went to a secondary school of business administration for 5 more years.
Graduated from University in Innsbruck and am currently pursuing a PHD program...
Besides I have my own radio show at Antenne Vorarlberg to earn a little cash...

PHILOSOPHY

This is a rather deep one! :-)
I want to keep this short now:
Spread the good wherever you go, whatever you do, do good. It´s that simple. If you smile to a person, the person smiles back. If you spread the good, the good comes back to you...
