History

Established in 1999.

Thanks for taking the time to explore my company. In today’s world of e-​everything, it is nice to know that you are dealing with real people. I am the driving force behind SRM Consulting, so let me tell you a little about myself.

I was born in Frankfurt, Germany in 1964 from American parents. By the time we moved to the United States when I was two, I’d had my first taste of German beer, but still could not speak any language. Interest in discovering my roots is the reason I eventually returned to Germany.

In California, I grew up learning to be self-​sufficient. Running my own «garage» companies eventually paid for my electrical engineering education at UC Berkeley (EECS ’85). Before submerging myself into Silicon Valley, I skipped off for a three month tour of Europe to see if I really did have any roots there.

After five years of working in the defense industry as a Satellite Ground Station Systems Engineer, I decided to pull up anchor and try my hand working in a foreign company.

In California, I grew up learning to be self-​sufficient. Running my own «garage» companies eventually paid for my electrical engineering education at UC Berkeley (EECS ’85).

After five years of working in the defense industry as a Satellite Ground Station Systems Engineer, I decided to pull up anchor and try my hand working in a foreign company. I landed a job with Rhode & Schwartz in Munich. One of my projects was building test transmitters for the new digital mobile phone networks (GSM) being installed around the world.

I turned my back on engineering in 1992 and devoted all my time and energy to building the German PowerBar empire. In 1996, Powerbar Inc. bought my distribution company and created their own European headquarters. I continued being employed by PowerBar Europe for another two years.

10% of their sales were in promotional merchandise when I left. Now I help other companies create their own highly customized and branded merchandise.
