Born in Mulhouse, I was raised in a Rhineland culture. I pursued higher education in business, studying in Grenoble and Germany. As a young graduate, I became the right-hand man of an iconoclastic skipper, captain of the world’s fastest sailboat. My journey then took me to Switzerland, where I orchestrated international media events for a renowned watchmaking house. A fraternal calling brought me back to Alsace, where I co-founded an artisanal coffee roastery. This encounter with the Enlightenment’s drink paradoxically led me to a beverage with an even older mystique... I have been working in vineyards for the past five years while cultivating an insatiable curiosity about the challenges of the global anthropic crisis."[...] man is the most suited of all living beings to consume intensely, sumptuously, the excess energy offered up by the pressure of life to conflagrations befitting the solar origins of its movement."
