CURRENT MISSION

Living well is the best revenge

ABOUT ME

Originally from Germany, I have been living in the USA for 9 years. I left Germany in 1990 and moved to London, then to Paris for my work. Am now working as an independent international insurance specialist and am preparing other entrepreneurial projects.

PHILOSOPHY

Living well is the best revenge. (George Herbert 1593-1633)
On n'est pas la pour se faire engueuler (Boris Vian 1920-1959)
Die Ente bleibt draussen! (Loriot 1923-2011)

Centres d'intérêt

When not working on my projects, I am a vegan cook and make a killer baguette, sing as a Soprano with our local church/music group, work in my garden towards my goal of replacing all lawn with flowers, shrubs and no-mow ground covers, attend to the never ending project of renovating a Victorian house and generally let myself be bossed around by my five cats.
