Thank you for finding this page and spending time to get to know me,                   

I appreciate it!

My Background:

Born in AUSTRIA (one hour south of Vienna) on December 7th 1956 

I followed in the footsteps of my grandfather (who was a composer and conductor), to be a classical musician - 

I became a successful flautist and conductor and with 24 years of age I was the youngest director of a music school in Austria...

In 1982, after 2 years of post graduate studies at the Karl Orff Institute (Elementary Music and Dance Education) of the "Mozarteum" in Salzburg, I took "sabbatical leave" and planned to travel around the world for one year.

I got as far as New Zealand and... found my Love...

For the first time in my life I saw the potential for real FREEDOM.

Here was the space to have a lifestyle and to find & develop the true "ME"...

I learned very different skills from very different people....and changed my focus more towards OPTIMUM WELL BEING... through self sufficiency, growing quality food, Permaculture - Organics - Biodynamics, LOTS of (self)healing modalities...etc. 

simply a Holistic LIFESTYLE...

Nutrition and Health & Wellbeing became very important to me.

I spent 7 years traveling and learning about food growing and collecting seeds and in 1989 I settled in a very remote place, the Buller Gorge, in the South Island of New Zealand to practice self sufficiency and stayed there for 10 years, when I moved to Golden Bay with my Family....

Since March 2002 I have been studying Zhineng Qigong and Ren Xue with Yuan Tze (see www.YuanTzeCentre.com) and am passionate about these ancient Chinese Teachings of Wisdom about Human Life. I completed the 8 levels of the Teachers and Therapists Training in Wellington, NZ  in August 2008 and have participated in all the Retreats with Yuan Tze since, to continue cultivating and uplifting my life as well as helping others....

Once you have read these notes (link above) you will understand WHY I am so passionate about supporting people on this Journey....

My wife Ana and I have been together since January 1991.                                                             She is the very best organic gardener and cook that I know, so I am very spoiled with gourmet fresh organic food! We have a very peaceful and loving relationship and we are committed to make love between Man and Woman work (which sadly is not so common these days!)

After our daughter Maniana was born in 1996 I had to re-consider our financial situation!

I had a good look at all my options and I did not want to go back to what I did in the past, as that would have taken me back to a city lifestyle...

I wanted to share with people what I had learned in those 15 years of playing the "INNER GAME" and living in tune with Nature... (no power, no phone...no bills...!!!)

At this point I had spent 10 years in the Buller Gorge (South Island NZ) building up fertility and planting gardens and orchards and living without money in an almost self sufficient but certainly self reliant lifestyle. I found out that after all that we ended up mineral deficient!!! and I learned a lot about minerals and their different forms (elemental - colloidal - ionic)...                                       I knew that THE most important and valuable resource the earth produces is not oil or gold or uranium... it is FERTILITY !!! 

I was not willing to compromise myself for money (selling my soul) and after nearly 2 years of knowing that we had to get back 'out' into the world and that we needed money to bring up our daughter, a passing friend introduced me to a then new to me concept:

Network Marketing   (also called MLM - Referral Marketing or Direct Sales)   

I saw the potential and liked the picture of growing a Global Network of 'like-minded' people, while at the same time helping to introduce a new paradigm business model based on the values of cooperation (people helping people), honesty and integrity... LOVE.

So, I joined my friend's company and started a steep learning-curve in a totally new lifestyle...

I was relatively successful in my first company, but, being a Binary System, I found that it was too hard for my friends to get to make money... so, when another friend introduced me to Life Force International, I was very open to take a look.

I found that there was a good chance for the part timers and beginners to succeed in this compensation plan and the products suited my passion (liquid-organic- wholefood nutrition), so I joined Life Force in April 1999. For my article on why we need to supplement and why I think Bodybalance is the best product available to cover the missing elements in our diet, Click Here

From the very beginning I knew that I had finally found my "Right Livelihood"!

Also this company had everything I was looking for and I had an incredible support TEAM!

I was working directly with the top people in the company and in this Industry! 

Once I found RIGHT LIVELIHOOD, I was off and running - I built a six figure residual income within two years and am passionate about the duplication of my success!

I love this business and have a total commitment to continue working it with my  focus on LOVE, Honesty and Integrity!

One thing I have learned is this - it has to be about more than just the money!

To be successful, one must be committed to helping those who are committed to helping themselves AND others...!

Just KNOW this, it doesn't matter what your background is, or what your past experiences are, if you have a desire, and a commitment, and you remain COACHABLE, you will be successful with our TEAM!

TODAY I live with my wife Ana and my 15 year old daughter Maniana in one of the most beautiful places on earth (and I have seen a lot!).

We have a small, beautiful piece of land (freehold), a comfortably renovated 140 year old farm house, close to the beach.

We have a large organic/bio-dynamic vegetable garden, chickens and ducks (so we still grow a lot of our food) and two cats.

12km to the small township of Takaka (about 1000 people) and a 2 hour drive to the City of Nelson (~ 60.000) at the top of the South Island, New Zealand.

I enjoy the ocean and the mountains, fishing & hunting or just relaxing and playing music with friends.

I practice Zhineng Qigong as my form of meditation and exercise.                                             This is my chosen spiritual practice. Thanks to the time freedom and my residual income, I was fortunate to study in Wellington with Master Bin Liu, now Yuan Tze, and graduate, after studying 8 Levels of Teachers and Therapists Training, as a Qigong Master.                                                 See www.yuantzecentre.com and if of interest you can buy his books "Voyage To The Shore" from there to find out more...

Mostly I enjoy being at home with my family and not having to go to work (away from home) like most dads!!!

I am a practical (Sagittarian) Visionary, dedicated to move, touch and inspire the people I communicate with, and, should they choose so, empowering them to fulfill their true potential, by providing an holistic context in which to create what truly matters to them

Should YOU choose to partner with us, I am committed to supporting you in building your success, by teaching you a simple SYSTEM and mentoring you in the process of teaching your  partners to duplicate the same, in order to generate a secure, sustainable and predictable residual income-stream over a 1 to 3 year time frame, by investing a minimum of 7 to 10 focused hours per week.

I enjoy inspiring people and mentoring them on their "Journey Towards Optimum Wellbeing", which to me means Life in BALANCE  -  Physically - Mentally - Emotionally - Spiritually - Financially and Socially.

I invite you to embark on that journey with us...

I commit to you and your goals as long as you commit to yourself and remain coachable.

If you are willing and committed to DO "Whatever It Takes" I will support you all the way!

My VISION: 

FREEDOM

For me Freedom begins with being FREE of unhappiness and all negative emotion - then freedom from physical aches and pains and finally freedom from financial pressures.

I can not be free in a society where most people are still in pain and economic slavery - so I am doing my best to help the ones that are looking for a way out of the 'rat race'.

I can only help the people who are ready to take responsibility for their life and are asking for help, which means they are looking for OPPORTUNITY! (like I did)...

I am passionate about the re-distribution of Wealth on a global scale - however, as there is no "FREE LUNCH", we can not give the money to the people (charity doesn't empower people!), we have to teach them how to earn it for themselves.

People are successful by becoming who they truly are and helping others to realize the same...

I use my business as a vehicle to create what really matters to me in my life - which is to create financial abundance and time freedom, but mostly a way to filter people into my life with whom I want to co-create what matters most to us, as a small group of like-minded (or rather "Common Sensed") individuals ("tribe") who really want to make a difference on the planet on a large scale... and leave this planet a better place for future generations.

Money, Time and Health shall not be an issue of limitation!

(for more detail I will write a book  ;-)

My VISION is of a peaceful planet that is full of natural abundance, and naturally creative people, no longer held back by starved cells and financial pressure, who are supporting each other on their journey through this amazing LIFE!
