I was born in Austria in 1952. After compulsory school attendance, I graduated from a technical college for electrical engineering. Then, I did post-graduate study for marketing at the University of Graz.

In my business career, I worked mainly as CEO for different technical companies in different European and Asian countries. For example, I worked and lived in India for a year. Before I retired two years ago, I had worked as general manager for a power trading company in Slovenia.

In my sport career I played soccer for different teams in different leagues in Austria. In 1974, I obtained my license as a soccer trainer and worked as trainer and coach for 15 years. Besides soccer, I was always involved in other sports like skiing, tennis, table tennis, and badminton.

I got in touch with golf when I was 40, and it became my favorite sport in no time. After my retirement, I concentrated on technical and mental practice. I improved quite fast and was successful in tournaments. Thus, many friends asked me to teach them my way of playing golf. Mainly through personal recommendations, many people approached me and asked for lessons. This is why I decided to attend the USGTF Level III certification course in Port St. Lucie in order to get a legal status.

In the future, I plan to create an Internet platform for all my students where we can stay in touch and exchange knowledge and experience and help each other when in need. In winter, when we cannot play golf in Austria, I plan to organize golf trips to southern countries which will include individual training.

Being a member of several private golf clubs in Austria, I have the opportunity of creating many potential clients.
