We packed our 3 kids and our life in 2017 to move from Germany to Florida and try the American dream!
And we love living here in Volusia county, awesome place to be.
In high school, I spent a year with a host family in Mobile, AL, and a semester in Paris while in college. I finished my studies with a master in computer science and worked as software developer, project manager and software tester for some time before we decided to try something else. So finding a need for a consistent and reliable cleaning company, we established one and are now in business since 2017 with currently 16 employees and growing.
