He started to realize his dreams with an apprenticeship at Munich’s best hotel, the KEMPINSKI Hotel “Vier Jahreszeiten” and from that time, a suitcase was always packed. Dallas / Texas, Budapest / Hungary, Bangkok / Thailand and back to the roots to Munich for a few more years before finally relocating to Asia in August 2000, taking up various positions for Central Hotels & Resorts, Dusit Hotels and Resorts, Orient-Express Hotels and Santiburi Group.
