As life throws obstacles at us, we sometimes take detours we hadn't planned for. It is Clemens' desire to accompany others as they walk these pathways and make it through nonetheless.

Be it the change in a major relationship, the loss of someone dear, or simply the vast amount of ways to choose after school - it is easier when not travelling alone. As any crisis offers opportunity for personal growth, Clemens enjoys coming alongside a person, and making the best of the circumstances around.
Aside from Character Mentoring training, Clemens has also received a diploma in Lebens- & Sozialberatung, as well as a Bachelor's Degree in Biblical Theology.
Being a native to the city of Vienna, he has been involved in leadership of a local international church for almost a decade.
