Who AM I ?
Richard Etzel
Starting from the the very beginning: I arrived on Earth in June 1993 for my task. I have been practicing martial arts since I was five years old. Later I added other hobbies like paragliding, women, playing the piano to name a choice few. However, i don’t practice all of these hobbies anymore.
I started with a classic apprenticeship as an industrial mechanic and worked my way up to shift supervisor. In the meantime, I went to night school to study to become a mechanical engineer. Gaps in one’s CV are often pinned as a negative, but new experiences can be a good thing. I ran an alpine hut in the mountains of Austria for three years and took care of about 100 cows. During the off seasons of this time I made several trips to Indochina and Southeast Asia and thus expanded my international contacts. Afterwards I have worked in the field of quality management in the semiconductor industry. Before I started my own business, I was a project manager in the cement industry. As such, I worked on a large project in Switzerland and several smaller projects in Germany and Austria.
