Who is GulleMan?
Short answer – If I just knew….!
Long answer – I think I am not going to figure this question out, ever. But I can declare a bunch of facts that might help to understand.
I was born 1974 in Munich (Earth) into a family of taxi drivers. Although I, too, had my brief stance in this industry, I soon figured I should take another road for my career.
In the end I became the IT guy, and still am. What kind of person I’ve become is something to judge for people that actually know me.
For what it’s worth, I am done judging people.

- Barack Obama – in terms of cool, second to Bill.
- My family. All of them. In particular, my Mum and my sweetest Nephew.
- My piano. No further explanation needed.
- My wealth of close friends. There’s many. I’m blessed.
- Freedom. Having spent 10 years in „exile“ is giving you perspective.
- My life-time visa to New Zealand. I can return there any day. And I will.
- Financial backing. Literally priceless.

Ideally in electric. Budget and some outstanding luck permitting, this - tbc.
