Bio

The Purpose of Human Life ~ The Universal Citizen:

Profound Self-Determination and Responsible Freedom. Be truly and deeply Self-Confident and Free. To Unconditionally be Responsible for One-Self; without being Coerced to accept some Higher Authority. 

Quote from "Alex Collier" back from the early to mid 90's. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in 2013/14 I watched a few online "seminar" from Alex Collier. Some of these seminars were already recorded back in the early to mid 1990's and again in the early 00's. 
As I watched them, I heard this statement and in an instant it ignited the spark of "Truth" within me, the truth which I already was aware of back then. All I can say nowadays - this is where humanity "MUST" go and develop into - if humanity wants to continue to live, grow and survive.

All future personal and business communications, relationships, collaborations, enterprises will have no other choice than to include the key essence and spirit of the above statement regardless. 

I was born in Esslingen am Neckar (nearby Stuttgart - the Swabian region). My residence is in Woerth am Rhein (nearby Karlsruhe) just across of the Rhine River, and fairly close to the French Border. 

However, I am currently living and working in Beijing, China. I first touched down in China back in November 2006. I visited and worked in many cities within the country such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Kunming, Weihai, Qingdao, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Nanning, Suzhou, Xuzhou, Yibin, Hefei, Dalian, Wuxi, Qufu, Baise, Lanzhou and many other smaller 2nd and 3rd tier cities.  

My professional experience is from a wide range of industries such as: Translation, Training, Teaching, Mentoring, Coaching, Consulting, Investment, Top Management, Leadership Management, Manufacturing, Logistics, Handcraft, Natural Therapies (incl. Facial Therapy, parts of TCM, Bowen Therapy), International Kitchen Operations and Management, Luxury Hospitality, Construction, Landscaping & Gardening - just to name a few. 

I have lived and worked in countries like Germany, Switzerland, South Africa, The Caribbean, England, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Australia and China. 

I have visited many more countries such as Vietnam, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Middle America, Norway, Sweden and many more.

Please don't hesitate to contact me to find out more. 

Best Regards
