I am a very openminded person from the eastern alps. I work there as a teacher for ambulancemen, with the Austrian Red Cross. Besides that I am studying scandinavian studies, german studies and pedagogics at the university of Vienna. I enjoy traveling to foreign countries (espescially scandianvia) and meeting different people who are openminded. I also like to play folk music (espescially Irish and Swedish), cooking and running.

I was born in vienna in 1986 and lived there with my parrents for three years. Then we moved to Neulengbach, which lies about 50km outwards from vienna. There me and my three little brothers grew up. Now I am living in the village Asperhofen on the second floor of a house amongst a lot of fields and woods.
I went to school in Sankt Pölten and Vienna. Afterwards I started my civilian service at the Austrian Red Cross as an ambulancemen. Because I really liked the work, I started to work there and became a teacher.

PHILOSOPHY
Don't try to focus on differences, focus on things in common.

Teach, Learn, Share

As I am training ambulancemen I know one or two things about first aid and emergency health care.
I also kept myself busy, learning about Austrian history, pedagogics and, as I am studying it, also a bit about germanic and scandinavian literature, culture, linguistics and history.
I'm always glad to spend a nice time with other musicians and learn some new tunes or techniques.
