Who am I?

Throughout my life, it has always been important to me to create and give something of value to others, be it in my medical work or in the giving of my knowledge, i.e., education. This, of course, requires both a constant broadening of my horizons and an increase in my knowledge.

I am passionate about nature; the “necessities of my life” are mountains and various natural waters. I gratify this mainly by practising various sports in nature (such as alpine hiking, winter and summer mountaineering, alpine and cross-country skiing, swimming, mountain biking and many forms of rowing). Typically, my children and my dogs are my “sporting companions” and, fortunately, my wife sometimes joins them as well.

In the course of my life, I have to face new, often very serious challenges again and again, which are often very “stressful” and not easy to cope with. In order to maintain my positive attitude and motivation, I find it extremely helpful to have positive reinforcements at all times, such as the various so-called affirmations, in addition to continuous self-improvement and self-education, furthermore routine sports, regular relaxation and different instant stress management techniques as well.
