About

Bridging Skilled Craftsmanship, Crisis Management, and International Mission Support. For over 25 years, I have combined professional leadership with high-stakes operational expertise – both in the correctional system and in global civil protection. In my professional role as Head of the Carpentry Workshop, I manage production and vocational training, focusing on rehabilitation through skilled labor. I believe in the power of structure and craftsmanship to create future perspectives. My professional path is deeply intertwined with 28 years of service at the German Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW). Over nearly three decades, I have developed a dual expertise in leadership and technology: International Crisis Management: Specialist in ICT (Information and Communication Technology) for international missions, ensuring vital communication lifelines in disaster zones. Operational Leadership: Extensive experience in managing large-scale emergency operations and strategic staff work (Command & Control). Education: Passing on mission-critical knowledge as a Lecturer at the THW Training Center. Whether I am leading a workshop or coordinating communication in a large-scale international disaster response, my focus remains on precision, strategic thinking, and resilient leadership. Core Competencies: Operational Excellence: Workshop Management & Rehabilitation. Emergency ICT: Deployment of communication infrastructure in international missions. Strategic Leadership: Command & Staff Work in complex environments. Knowledge Transfer: Lecturing and Leadership Training. I am always open to connecting with professionals in the fields of crisis management, vocational training, or civil protection
