Florian S.

Hello, my name is Florian, and I was born in the vibrant city of Frankfurt in 1973. My life's journey has taken me across continents, through various careers, and has shaped me into the person I am today. From my time living in Africa to my experiences in the culinary and film industries, I have cherished every moment of this incredible ride. Adventures in Africa: In 1994, I decided to explore the wonders of Africa and embarked on a life-changing adventure. Living in both Namibia and South Africa for over a decade allowed me to immerse myself in the rich cultures and breathtaking landscapes of these countries. The connection I felt with Africa left a lasting impression on my heart and soul. In 1994 I knew it was time to follow my passion for food and hospitality. I dived headfirst into the restaurant business and successfully established three beloved restaurants in Swakopmund Namibia. Each establishment had its unique flair, and I took immense pride in providing delightful dining experiences for my guests. The Glittering World of Hollywood: As I continued to explore different creative avenues, I found myself drawn to the magic of the film industry. My involvement in various Hollywood productions in Namibia and South Africa allowed me to contribute to the making of some unforgettable films. Working behind the scenes and witnessing the magic of cinema was a thrilling experience that fueled my creativity. Founding a Marketing Agency: After returning to my place of birth "Frankfurt" with a wealth of experiences in my arsenal, I decided to start a new chapter in my professional life. Currently, I am the proud owner of a thriving advertising agency right here in Frankfurt. Combining my love for storytelling with effective marketing strategies, I help businesses tell their unique stories and achieve success. Passions and Joys: Outside the realm of work, I embrace an active lifestyle that revolves around my hobbies. You can often find me cycling through scenic routes, lacing up my running shoes for a refreshing jog, or taking a plunge into the pool for a refreshing swim. My love for fitness and endurance challenges led me to participate in triathlons, which constantly push me to achieve new heights. Wanderlust and Gastronomic Adventures: I have an insatiable appetite for travel, and exploring new destinations fills me with joy and wonder. Whether it's uncovering hidden gems in far-flung lands or enjoying the local delicacies, traveling enriches my life in countless ways. As a food enthusiast, I relish the experience of dining at exquisite eateries, savoring delectable dishes prepared by talented chefs. Parenthood's Fulfilling Role: One of the most rewarding aspects of my life is being a devoted single father to my daughter, who is now 19, and my son, who is 13. Parenthood has taught me invaluable lessons in patience, love, and resilience. Seeing my children grow and supporting them in their endeavors brings immeasurable happiness to my heart. So my life's journey has been a colorful tapestry of adventures, entrepreneurship, and the joys of parenthood. From the stunning landscapes of Africa to the bustling streets of Frankfurt, each experience has molded me into what I am today. As I continue to explore new horizons, I embrace the challenges and celebrate the triumphs that life has in store for me.
