Who am I?

Well this is a kinda philosophical question so for now I'll just show some snippets of essential information about me and you'll be able to find out more from the other pages!

  • Born and bred in Cologne, Germany
  • Studied Environmental Science in the UK: B.Sc. at Lancaster University; Ph.D. at Leeds University
  • Spent 3 months working in south-west Spain in the Rio Tinto area. Still my favourite place in the entire world!
  • Started working for Shell International as a geologist in Rijswijk/The Netherlands
  • Transferred to Houston/USA and enjoyed the opportunities Texas and the neighbouring states and countries had to offer.YEEEEEE - HAH!
  • Currently in Sarawak/Malaysia and discovering Asian culture, nature, food and people!

When I am not busy building reservoir models for offshore Nigerian oil fields, I like to

  • go horseriding (I had to leave my horse Gatlin behind in Houston)
  • box and kickbox (ideally competitively if I can find willing opponents) 
  • swim, surf, sail, water ski, snowboard, skydive, scuba dive 
  • drink tequila slammers and dance in cozy bars and clubs 
  • listen to live music 
  • generally enjoy life to the max and try anything new at least once!
