I was born in upper Austria in a town called Steyr, but I was raised uh approximately twenty kilometers away from, from there in a lovely town of uh St Valentin uhm, yea, uh, I went to elementary school there and later on I went to high school back to uh back in Steyr and while I was in Steyr I decided I wanted to uh go on and uh study biology so when I was eighteen I went to Vienna started biology to become a high school teacher. Uh, approximately, uh halfway through my biology studies I went on a field trip uh with uh geologists from University of Vienna and after that I decided to add a geology study and yea after all nine years at University of Vienna I finished uh my degrees in geology and biology and got an offer to go on with a PH.D in Lawrence at KU accepted and now five years later I’m still at KU and try to finish up my PH.D this summer and so far was a great time and yea I hope afterwards I will find a nice job and maybe stay in the U.S. or go back to Austria.
