My story
From the Danube to Lake Zurich
I grew up in Krems an der Donau, in the heart of Austria’s Wachau valley - among vineyards, the river, and the quiet certainty that the world keeps going beyond the next hill. That’s exactly where it pulled me: always a little further west. University and early career in Innsbruck, then international projects across Austria, Poland, and Liechtenstein.
Liechtenstein became the turning point - for a reason no project plan had foreseen: that’s where I met my wife.
And so the road led me to Switzerland, where I now live on Lake Zurich and run an industrial SME. In 2019 I took eight months off to travel - Sri Lanka, the Caribbean, North America. That time taught me two things: I need less than I thought. And good work doesn’t depend on a desk.
