I was born in Munich, Germany. In my childhood years I experienced both good and difficult times, like most people in this world. I graduated from a Classical High School, and I studied theology and nutrition counseling. For twenty years I served as a clergyman. I learned much through reading and, above all, by speaking with real people. A great source of wealth for me were the twenty years I taught in High School. The children and their questions taught me what sincerity and thirst for truth mean. So far, ten of my books have been published.

My life until now is full of mistakes and moments of awakening. I spend my day writing, reading, and being silent. I seek living relationships and journeys that open the mind. When I speak, I think of the sorrows and joys of the listeners and I ground myself. I always keep an outline, but in the end, I speak from within, because I believe that the words of the heart, at times, are better.
