After he had graduated from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Budapest University of Technology,he worked on pump development at the Diósgyőr Machine Factory, and then at the Budapest Refrigeration Office - we were colleagues here for the first time.
His other workplaces were EGI and KLIMA Ltd.

His adventurous life is characterized by the fact that he started to work in Copenhagen as a taxi driver, but he worked for Danfoss one year later and soon he was the head of the Danfoss Development Department.
He began the development of electronic expansion valves.

Being a restless innovator and inventor, he didn’t stay at Danfoss more than ten years and went further to the German company Cool-Expert to develop microprocessor cooling automatics.
