After spending a career as a dentist, he moved to Uitikon, Switzerland on his pension. At age 85, he began a fitness program.
“I looked in the mirror one morning,” he says, simply, “and I didn’t like what I saw.”[1]
Since then he has won more than 100 fitness awards in multiple sports, including bodybuilding[2][3] and rowing. He won multiple medals at the World Masters Regatta.[4][5] [6] [7]
Notable achievements
He was invited to do a talk at TEDx in Zurich in 2012, and gave a talk titled "Why bodybuilding at age 93 is a great idea".[8]
