I was born in 1976 in Klagenfurt (Carinthia, Austria). Since 1994 I have been living, studying and working in Vienna.

 

During my continuing education I spent 2 years at the Medical University of Vienna. After that I started studies at the Vienna University of Business and Economics where I graduated the Advertising & Sales Certificate Program at the WU Executive Academy in 2005.

 

In 2000 I started working at ArmStrong Business Events as a Project Assistant.From the start I enjoyed the creative and all-round challenges as well as the vibrant atmosphere of Live Marketing. With large successful projects my responsibilities grew until I became a full partner and CEO of ArmStrong in 2009.

 

I left the company in 2013, eager to meet new professional challenges in the future.

 

In my free time I am practicing Traditional Taekwondo. Furthermore I enjoy the movies, reading, travelling, scuba diving, hiking and good food.

 

I am happily married to my lovely wife Sonja and often kept on the go by our dog Giuseppe.
