PS. A few things to know me better as a person:
I believe in that all people are talented in some way or other and that you're best off if you concentrate on what you know and have most fun doing. I have noticed how hard it some times can be to know what you're good at and really enjoy doing (since all tasks often are confused with "musts" at hand making people take them on even though the task may not be necessary or the person may not be the right one neither from a personal fulfillment, nor from an efficiency viewpoint). I enjoy trying to pin-point these things as quickly as possible by providing a different perspective by the help of my experience of having peeled all business tasks off until I was down to a lean, automated business machine with all processes in place.

I love my four kids and my wife.

I care for and am interested in animals and I really enjoy dancing, hiking, sailing, skiing and hunting. Dancing Salsa and sailing likely should come first there . In sports, I have been active in the Pirates Floorball Club including as its President. I very much enjoy working with others in associations, particularly ones with an international touch like ESTIEM alumni and the couchsurfing project. Through People to People International I had the privilege to be the responsible for finding suitable efficient aide-worthy organizations for the surplus of one of its chapters, where I found Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) whose work also lies close to my heart and that I would encourage also other people to have in mind."

Internet Marketing Experience:
