My personal
story begins in 1970 with a child's fascination, gazing out of a roof window at pilots
adorned in red helmets, soaring at tree-top level. That image ignited a passion
in me, leading to the creation of my first aircraft
—
a balsa wood plane
propelled by nothing more than a rubber band. This childhood wonder laid the
foundation for a lifelong journey in aviation.
After completing
my apprenticeship as an aircraft and powerplant (A&P) mechanic and earning
my Pilot License, my dedication to aviation only grew. Today, after nearly
fifty years in this thrilling industry, I am honored to serve as a publicly
appointed aircraft expert witness and chair the appraiser association for the
German-speaking countries in Europe. Each day, whether in the hangar or the
sky, performing check flights or inspecting aircraft for my clients, reaffirms
my love for aviation and for the people who make it possible — the pilots,
engineers, accountants, and enthusiasts who share this dream.
