About Me

CURRENT MISSION

work life balance game - learn about myself, see more of the world and it's beautiful people

ABOUT ME

Usually I work as a sound light video guy on a self-employed base, which gives me the freedom to have quite a lot of free time and a little money.
Most of the time I spend in a project called "Niehler Freiheit", which started as a group of friends renting an old factory place as a shared workshop. Now we moved to and old car workshop and changed the place into lots of different workshops (wood,metal,bike repair,ateliers, a bar and what not).
I'm quite a social guy, so you will find me around people most of the time, though I'm sometimes not that talkative and seem grumpy (but that's just because of my profession :-P)

PHILOSOPHY

mhpf, is there one? maybe the scout philosophy
Look at the boy, look at the girl
Paddle your own canoe
