  • Description

    I’m a 29-year-old mechanical engineer with a strong hands-on mindset and a passion for building, fixing, and creating things myself. I enjoy practical work, whether it’s repairs, DIY projects, or workshop tasks, and I like understanding in depth how things are made and how they work. I also enjoy cooking and appreciate good coffee — especially the craft and care behind it.
    I’m also a passionate pilot and glider instructor, which has taught me responsibility, calm decision-making, and clear communication. I’m reliable, practical, and happy to work both independently and as part of a team. I’m used to technical environments, focused work, and situations that require concentration and sound judgment.
    As a family-oriented person, I get along well with children and bring patience and a friendly, respectful attitude. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, working on hands-on projects, and staying active.

    My partner is 26 years old and a psychologist with a background in working with children and young people. She is empathetic, patient, and very good at connecting with kids in a warm and supportive way. She is also a professional dancer, which makes her creative, disciplined, and energetic. She loves being active, trying new things.She is playing the piano and interested in music.
    She is adventurous, quick to understand new situations, and highly language-talented, making communication easy in different environments. She is resilient, open-minded, and enjoys helping wherever support is needed.
    Together, we are a responsible, friendly, and motivated couple who enjoy learning new skills, meeting new people, and contributing in a practical and positive way.
