Cheboksary, Russia, German citizen. |

My home city Cheboksary is a nice city at the Volga river. |
|
At the age of 7 my family moved to Rudnyj, Kazakhstan. Two years later we came back and stayed there until we moved to Germany in 1994. I’m from a family of |
|
”Volga Germans”, that’s why I’m a German citizen and why one day we moved to Germany. (We were one of the last of our family still staying in Russia at that time point.) |
|
I studied for a M.Sc. in Electro-physics in Cheboksary 1987-92. Then I worked at |
|
my university as an engineer until 1994. My second study was for a M.Sc. in Electro-technique in
Karlsruhe, Germany, 1995-1999. I made my diploma thesis at Adtranz in Pittsburgh, USA, were Toby and me met each other. |
|
My main hobby is painting, but also being out in the nature, trekking, skiing, scuba diving and especially travelling. |
|
At the time I’m working for Bombardier Transportation in Zurich with train control |
|
software. |

|
I grew up in Degerfors and Karlskoga, two neighbour towns close to Vänern, the largest lake of Sweden. |
|
I studied for a M.Sc. in mechanics in Luleå 1989-94. During this time I also made my military service on the ice breaker Frej, below a photo in the port of Luleå. |

My main hobby is to design and build model trains. Else I enjoy mountain trekking, hunting and fishing, simply being out in the nature. I also like to discover exotic parts of the world, often combined with scuba diving. Skiing is another passion of mine, both down hill and cross country. |
