CURRENT MISSION

We Can't Stop Here, This is Bat Country

ABOUT ME

I am working as a software engineer, love classic rock'n'roll, mountainous terrain, and pushing the limits. I also enjoy spending some quality time with friends and hanging out.

I have developed a keen interest in different cultures. I believe it may have started while travelling around Ireland a few years back.

Over the years I have travelled the world and have seen quite a few countries. There truly is nothing more thrilling and exciting than travelling and seeing the world.

At home in Germany I enjoy spending my weekends mountain climbing and hiking, especially during the winter season which is the time of year I enjoy those activities most.

I also take pride in my position as a volunteer fireman in my town which is also a favorite pastime of mine.

If I can find any spare time I also enjoy reading, my favorite genres being thrillers, novels and politics. I also love photography as it is a true passion of mine.
