Thomas Geisen
Kontrollinspektor, commander of a small police station in the Rohrbach district · Rohrbach-Berg, Rohrbach district, Upper Austria
Thomas Geisen was a Gendarmerie officer for nine years before the Gendarmerie was absorbed into the federal police in 2005; today, as Kontrollinspektor, he commands a small police station in the Rohrbach district. Married, two teenagers, a shelter dog for the evening walk through the village. Searches for missing persons, accidents on the provincial road, staff shortages in the duty roster — and a map of stations in his head on which he keeps recalculating how long his own circle will stay on it.
In Radical Personas, Thomas reviews your website, ad, or copy from exactly this standpoint — with a Score and reasoning you can follow.
