After 5 years there he moved on to sell medical equipment and instruments for another 5 years. Then he went on to open his own shop, a café, and a traditional chimney cake business and an ice-cream shop.

Later he got into the Thai massage business by accident, after he had sold all of his other businesses. As it turned out this is the closer to his heart than anything he has done before, he says.
