Professional experience & expertise: Founding and management of Hausboot-Kompass.de, the platform for collecting and providing specialist information on the purchase and use of houseboats. Comprehensive cooperation with industry experts, houseboat manufacturers, architects and houseboat owners to constantly expand and update my knowledge, for optimal customer support. Work as an independent consultant, project manager and broker for interested parties and houseboat owners.

Personal background: Even as a child, I was fascinated by water and spent many hours sailing and exploring coastal waters. These early childhood experiences shaped my love and enthusiasm for life on the water. The findings from long sailing trips — from dealing with the challenges of nature to the calming effect of water — influenced my decision to live on the water myself.

Motivation: When I noticed that many people share the same dream of living on a houseboat but fail due to lack of information, I felt compelled to find a solution. With Hausboot-Kompass.de, I want to fill gaps in knowledge and help others realize their dream.

Objective: The continuous expansion and optimization of Hausboot-Kompass.de and the support of interested parties on their way to the perfect houseboat.
