The Soft Part
I’m a father (since 2007), a partner, and an entrepreneur with more ideas than I can count.
I consider myself an individualist — but a team player by heart.
I love outdoor life, sailing, hunting, camping, adrenaline, movement and challenge.
Physical capability and curiosity define the way I live.
