My Story
Our family was always on the move. Ukraine, Moldavia, Kirgistan, Belarus and Germany where the countries I had lived in by the time I was 10 years old. All I knew as a child was migration. We settled down in Cologne for a few years, then moved to the south of Germany.
After finishing high school, I moved to Munich knowing one thing: enough sitting in classrooms for this lifetime! So I went on following my passion and learned jazz saxophone, sound engineering and DJing. Learning what I needed to know on the go - by doing.
I started my online career as an intern at Munich's first online agency - MediaLab - in 1996. Continued as a freelance Graphics-Designer and Web-Designer. Founded my first agency - DefDesign - in 2000, working for Siemens, EADS, Bosch and others.
Continuing my path has a self-taught entrepreneur, I ventured into trading stocks, DJing and selling on Amazon. After selling my Amazon business in 2019, I focused on helping other businesses to grow online with my agency DefDevice.
Businesses Built
The first business I launched at age 14 was buying broken bicycles, repairing them in our basement and reselling them. It went quite well until my logistics partner - my mum - resigned from her job. But I was hooked on the idea of doing things at my own terms. The word 'entrepreneur' was not in my vocabulary but that's when I became one.
I have created 16 online businesses so far. Some closed, one sold, some still running. I learned what I needed to know along the way. And I keep on learning.

I call my music 'HighTechSoul'. Because it's soulful. And 'high tech'.
