Marcel Heiniger

Marcel was Born on a sunny Tuesday, on August 1972 in the lake city of Biel/Bienne in Switzerland. Grown-up on the tree Lake region, first in German schools, then changed to French, Marcel wan always close to the water or the snow.
Loved the snow so much that he got sponsored by wild duck snowboard brand to participate in the Swiss Snowboard championship series.

As his Father had an IT, Marcel was in contact at a young age to the world of computers.  His first computer a Commodore SX-64, his first laptop as he loves to say. In the early eighties with his friends created a 30 modem BBS download server,  that he replace quite fast by one of the first privately run webservers in Switzerland.

It was time to change the life, and Marcel moved to Thailand where he became a Dive Instructor but never letting the IT world behind him continuing working as a freelancer.  So he is maybe one of the first digital nomads.
