Hey :)

My name is Patrick and I am originally from world famous Bad Gandersheim/Germany.

I was born and raised in this small city and moved to Hannover when I was 16 to pursue my dream of becoming a professional football player. I played 4 years for the Youth Academy of Hannover 96 and then moved to Florida/USA because I got offered an Athletic Scholarship. I studied and played football/soccer at the University of West Florida for 1 1/2 years and then transferred to the University of San Diego in California. I lived in in San Diego for 3 1/2 years and then moved back to Germany to pursue a career at Nike in the Marketing department. I lived in Frankfurt a.M. for 6 months and then got re-located to Berlin in the beginning of 2018.
During my time in the US, I also wrote a book, and organised many events on the side. I love to travel and to meet new people, get to know new cultures, and try to see the world from all different point of views. I am very easy-going, respectful, open-minded, and optimistic. In my free time I love to explore new places, hang out with family and friends, read, listen to music, do sports, go dancing and relax.
