Alfred is a member of the Summertime family (Hans’ brother). He studied Zoology in Sydney, Finance in Amsterdam, and Information Security in cyberspace. It is therefore no surprise that he is responsible for the technical creation of this web site. He likes to call Goa home, a green oasis to recharge his batteries after frequent travels. He has his own website called Our Man in India promoting his management consultancy for foreign companies in India.
