Natural-born craftsman…

1971 I I was born into a family of craftsmen in rural Bavaria — people who believed in hard work, precision, and earning your place in the world. At the age of 20, driven more by curiosity than by any grand plan, I took my first steps as an entrepreneur.

​

1991 I What began as a “one-man bucket shop” grew, within one year, into a 10-person team specialising in commercial data processing for clients like Siemens and DATEV. And this small venture became a mid-sized SAP system house.

 

2004 I After selling the company, I joined my “sweetheart” client — Siemens IT Services — taking global responsibility for creating new products, services and business models. A new chapter, with a bigger horizon.

 

Passion for building…

2010 I Despite its enormous significance, the construction industry had barely changed for decades. That fascinated me — and challenged me. So, I began becoming a builder. Curiosity became strategy, discipline became craft, and technical depth became trademark.

 

2015 I One project — Housing for people in special life situations — changed everything. Praised by public authorities and social institutions, it grew into a substantial investment platform with a sustainable portfolio across Bavaria, Hesse, Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein.

 

2023 | The year that changed everything

In June 2023, life hit pause:
“Parasellar mass with distress of the optic chiasm.”
A brain tumor — with the imminent risk of blindness.

At the same time, the construction industry was collapsing under cost explosions, inflated land prices, labyrinthine bureaucracy, and impossible financing. Insolvencies everywhere. A sense of doom in the air.

Yet crisis has a strange power: it forces clarity.

 

2024 | Winds of Change

After surgery and recovery, I made two decisions:

1. Change my lifestyle.

2. Change the way I build — fundamentally.

 

Together with Kaspars Senvalds, we completed the management buyout of SIA Nordic Homes, a proven specialist in modular timber construction from Latvia. By shifting 85% of value creation into prefabrication, we were able to cut costs by around 35 - 40%. Projects that were previously impossible became viable again — with fewer disruptions on site and dramatically faster delivery.

It wasn’t just a business move. It was a reinvention.

 

2025 | Ownership First

In 2024, we made a strategic decision:
Stop being a third-party service provider.
Start being our own client.

​

We exited almost all external contracts and built our own boutique development platform. Together with our “sweetheart” partner Cornelia Sorge, we created a strong pipeline of proprietary developments — in Hamburg, Berlin, Oldenburg, Nuremberg, Erlangen, and even in Iceland.

A business transformed within 1 year.

 

2026 | Well done!

Thanks to relentless focus, resilience, and the courage to rebuild, we enter 2026 with full production capacity secured until early 2030 — driven primarily by our own projects.

What once seemed uncertain became a foundation for long-term independence.

 

Bottom line.

The idea we started with in 2024 was simple but bold:

Stop serving others. Start building for ourselves.

 

After two demanding years, the transformation is complete:

Independent.
Successful.
And super sexy.
