People know me as an enthusiastic, entrepreneurial and ambitious guy, who is not afraid to step out of his comfort zone. This attitude makes that I easily get into contact with others and am seen as a social person with a strong sense of humor.
I have loved entrepreneurship from an early age and have read many books from entrepreneurs like Richard Branson and Bill Gates. My drive led me to take entrepreneurial initiatives from a young age, including small scale international trade, online marketing initiatives, creation and selling of ebooks and working as freelancer to develop websites.
