My time outside work I spend as much as possible with my wife and my son.

I am also a motivated hiker, climber, ski driver, and have among others crossed the Alps to Italy three times on foot. I can be found also at least once a year on an extensive Via Ferata tour. Apart from that I play tennis with varying success, but always with full dedication.

I also enjoy trips to foreign countries and cultures, especially to Asia, love cooking and can be tempted always with a good wine accompanying good food.
