Ingo Baumann
Operations manager · tree nursery and garden center (around 25 employees) · Ludwigsburg area, Baden-Württemberg (Germany)
Ingo Baumann shares a list with his wife on the pinboard in the hallway: for twenty years it has recorded where they're headed next in Austria — Vienna every two years, and in between, still undecided, either Salzburg or Graz. During the day he runs a tree nursery and garden center near Ludwigsburg with around twenty-five people, and on Tuesdays he also coaches the D-Jugend youth team at TSV. Even so, he never once stops in front of a rose bed on vacation.
