My career in the IT industry has been lasting for more than 20 years now. I started as a programmer, went to support, marketing, design - trying to get closer to people, which was not possible while sitting in a dark room in front of monitors, typing tons of code into a machine, eating pizza and drinking coke. Then, 13 years ago I started my own business with a communication agency in Germany. I created lots of designs for small and medium firms to represent them in their print media and on the internet. My colleagues and I helped customers with their problems IT tends to cause. Today I live in California because I did not care for the weather in Germany any longer. I love the open minded, friendly people of California, the greatness of landscapes and the spirit of "everything thinkable is possible". That's my philosophy too.
