I started my IT professional carreer as an IT trainer, soon upgrading to a Microsoft Certified Trainer (for Windows NT,  Windows 2000 and SQL Server 7.0/2000). Now I work in Hannover (Germany) as Head of IT Consulting with an IT consulting company.
I have been an MVP since October 2003 - which was almost exactly 20 years after I had bought my first comnputer (a Commodore 64). What I like about the communities is the effort to provide other users with expert knowledge on a non-profit basis.
What I spend my time with: professionally, it is Windows-based client/server computing, project management and product management. Privately, it is my family: I live with three women, one of whom is my wife (and the others are my daughters).
