About Me

I grew up in Germany, lived in Pennsylvania and Arkansas for a while and now call Florida my home. 

I retired from the software industry a few years back (FIRE movement) and have mostly been a stay-home dad to my now teenage daughter since then. 

I'm 56 years old, try to stay fit with natural movement, follow mostly a Primal/Paleo diet, tend towards minimalism and enjoy reading (see "Links&Likes" tab), traveling (see "Photos" tab) and optimizing random things. I don't like dogmatism and try to approach things with an open mind and rational thinking, keeping in mind that everything in life has pros and cons.

Why "olafmoves"? As a reminder that life requires movement and in order to stay healthy, fit and functional we have to "move" our bodies and minds on a regular basis: "Use it or loose it" (SAID principle).
