In the 1970s, he worked with youth organizations, mainly on the problems of education and training.

He has worked in industry since 1985, and since 1991, he has been an independent entrepreneur. From 1991 to 2001, he has concentrated mainly on TRIZ training and, from 2002, on science and technology journalism.
