About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Doing a research stay in la jolla, california for 2 months, afterwards going to travel around the place for 3 weeks, than back to cold Germany

ABOUT ME

After school I went to south afrika to work in a camphill comunity as a baker for organic bread, after one year working there I went beck to become a professional baker in germany/berlin... but unfortunately my bakery went bankruped just a few months after I started my apprenticeship, as I had a french girlfriend at this time of my life, I went to france to study chemistry, with the idea to save the world one day, when the same kind of people who are destroying the world today will be needed to heal it !
Currently doing a PhD in bioinformatics, crazy stuff, which is best explained with cold beer :) atm I am in la jolla, california doing a 2 months reseach stay and learning how to surf (I am 2 days here and already in love with the place !)

PHILOSOPHY

Nobody is that crazy, that he could not find somebody else who is even more crazy, so he'll understand him. nitzsche
