“Dear Bearded Fellows,

“My name is Jörn Steiger, born in 1966 in Germany and second-time-lucky married.

“Am recently living in Wiesbaden, but business-wise I also have to spend time at Ulm, Zurich, Lyon and other places.

“For a very long time I used to wear a goatee style beard, but 8 years ago I changed it to George V style and I'm still satisfied with the result.

“Next to my business as a company owner my passion is my wife, my daughter, a good beer in good company, and to take the road that's less travelled.

“Since I live abroad, I am afraid I won't be able to attend many meetings, but I am very honoured to be a part of this fine Club of Bearded Gentlemen!”
