Tom’s book author mission is to help readers overcome their problems and bottlenecks — so they can live healthier, happier, and more successful lives. But unofficially… He’s been bugging me until I finally wrote a description of him.😜 And honestly? Tom is a guy who’s nearly impossible to describe.
He graduated from German Abitur (upper high school) with several awards. And he got 2 scholarships because of social engagement, leadership qualities, successes in sport and music, very good marks in school and other things. He graduated with honors in Law from Humboldt University of Berlin.
He’s also just five exams away from finishing a second degree — a Bachelor’s in Psychology. Oh, and as if that wasn’t enough, he’s even allowed to take university exams in Medicine and Education, and has collected extra qualifications from places like Harvard, Humboldt University Berlin, Tulane, and Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg.
But what makes him proudest isn’t the academic stuff at all— it’s his personal development and voluntary work for children. Back in school, Tom and a few friends founded a youth project with their hometown’s mayor to give more opportunities to local kids. The project even made it to the podium at a Demography Award presented by a Prime Minister.
And he is very proud about progression in health, music, sport, foreign languages, and new skills he learns constantly which play a role for optimization of outer life and inner life.
At heart, Tom’s a free spirit. Thanks to countless trips with his parents since childhood, he built a global network early on. He has an international mind and way of thinking. By age 9, he was already earning his first money as a musician, tutor, and travel guide. Fast-forward to today — sometimes you’ll find him singing in an old bar somewhere in the U.S., Italy, or Portugal, jamming with musicians he just met through sports. Then he’ll disappear to write his next book to add maximum value to the reader… or train for months in a Shaolin martial arts monastery… or launch a new course. He’s always learning, meeting new people, and building connections around the world. One month he’s helping out near the Ukrainian border, the next he’s taking new coaching courses or spending quiet weeks with his grandparents and friends from his home region.
Sounds rebellious? Yep.
Sounds crazy? Definitely.
Sounds unfocused? Nope.
When Tom decides on something, he’s all in — laser-focused until the goal is done. He’s confident, provocative, funny — talks too much, leaves chaos in his flats, and yes, sometimes makes you want to throw a phone at his head 😜 But he’s constantly evolving, living that golden balance between ambition and joie de vivre.
Health is especially close to his heart — at 19, he was seriously ill for months, went against medical advice, and came back stronger than ever. That experience, along with his deep love for his grandparents, made health one of his life’s central missions.
Even though I dont like to admit it but his books really do deliver massive value — helping readers break through bottlenecks and reach their goals. Tom is open to collaborations where strengths come together e.g. in crypto, books and online courses — and to new coaching clients who genuinely want to make a difference in their lives
For some time now, his main focus during his working hours has been on Crypto, DeFi, Trading, as well as new books and online courses. He’s also deeply thankful for his mentors and coaches — and grateful for every person he’s had the chance to learn from.
