ABOUT ME

well what should i tell you?
I am married to Maria for more than 25 years, incredible how all those years have gone by so fast. We have two grown up kids and live in the countryside. Working fulltime leaves me a globetrotter of small steps.

PHILOSOPHY

We are all crew members of the same spaceship earth so its a good idea to get along fine. A good basis for that is to learn from each other by meeting. Tolerance and openness are the most important ingrediances for a start.

To cut a long message short:
Don't panic!
