Personal Interests:

 

Besides the technical and financial concerns of our power plant and the measures which need to be taken to secure its future, my main focus is the well-being of our employees, both at Zolling and in the company as a whole. That´s why I´m committed to the realization of our OneE.ON company model, of which such things as values and correct behaviour form an important part. It connects the employees and allows them to exchange their knowledge in a large network, helping us and the company to succeed. Occupational safety and the health of both our employees and those of our contractors are our main objectives!

My family is the center of my private life. My wife, my 20-year-old daughter and I have managed to deal with our numerous moves around the country and have come to learn a lot about removals and renovations. Despite my limited time off, we still manage to visit our local gym regularly, fitness being something I consider to be a necessary part of life. My wife and I have lived in Nandlstadt in beautiful Holledau since September 2006.
