I was born in 1938 not far from a little village called Klein-Reken in Westphalia, Germany and came to Canada at the age of 18, alone and adventure minded.
In order to make a living, I at first worked in construction in Toronto, Ontario and as a miner in the Gaspé Copper Mine in the province of Québec. I then moved to Montréal where I started to work in a restaurant and a private club. By studying accounting and hospitality management part-time, I went on to have a successful career in the hotel industry.
My passion though was philosophy, literature, history and classical music. Notwithstanding the fact that I took courses at Concordia University, I am mostly self-taught. I have also studied languages and am a prolific writer of poems, mostly in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian.
I am retired now and live in Longueuil, Québec, married to a French speaking woman by the name of Dominique.ver menos
