My journey

Resume

From a frozen yogurt chain at 19 via Engel & Völkers to two real estate companies of my own – this is my path.

Work experience

2022 – present

Managing Director Active

NESGO · Zossen

Brokerage ranks right at the top for me, next to development: with NESGO I market properties for owners and find dream homes for buyers – from condos and single-family homes to multi-family buildings. Now with a team of more than 20 people.

2019 – present

Managing Director Active

Petter Group GmbH · Zossen

My entry into self-employment in real estate. As managing director and developer I currently focus on fix-&-flip apartment deals across Berlin and Brandenburg – with multi-family buildings and larger developments up next.

2014 – 2018

Managing Director

frozen-Joe GmbH & frozen-Joe Franchise GmbH · Berlin, Brandenburg, Rostock, Hamburg, Leipzig, Darmstadt

While still in high school I opened the first of eight stores of my own frozen yogurt chain – an idea I brought back from my exchange year in the USA. After almost five years I had to file for insolvency. Expensive tuition that keeps me from repeating the same mistakes to this day.

Education

2018 – 2020

Real Estate Agent

Engel & Völkers · Berlin

Real estate fascinated me even as a kid. After my years in gastronomy I started at Germany's largest brokerage, gained hands-on experience and completed the entire internal training in Berlin and Hamburg.

2002 – 2015

Advanced technical college certificate (Fachabitur)

Fontane-Gymnasium & Washington-Lee High School · Rangsdorf, Potsdam, Washington D.C.

Secondary school with a focus on arts and music, an exchange year at a high school in Washington D.C. and time at the Potsdam sports school as a handball player – completed with the Fachabitur.
