Jörg Breuning:

I am born on the 7th day of July in nineteen-hundred-sixty-two in Stuttgart, Germany. It is the hometown of the first car (Gottlieb Daimler) and the first car manufacturer Daimler-Benz (today DaimlerChrysler). I grew up and lived there my entire life...Ok, until 2002 where I went into my biggest endeavour: starting a company in the United States of America as a division of my German company which is now an equal owned company together with Peter Philippi. Roof greening - a specialized landscaping on roof garden and on green roofs – is still a new market in the USA and many requests from there made this step to a logical consequence. I have been travelled all over the world and between 1985- 2002 I spent at least 8 vacations in the USA (never less than 4 weeks). Anyway in 1987 I knew my mission will be bringing green roof to the US and start a company there. With the patience of a gardener it finally worked out and I am in the middle of my mission now. It was the right choice because of three reasons: - People with advanced skills from Germany do have a unique change on this huge country and market. - Nobody else in the world appreciates more this skills and knowledge transfer than the Americans. - It was my dream since nearly 20 years. This reasons and being a gardener makes me to the lucky person you can see on the picture. It is more than 25-year-old passion and the dream that green roofs grow all over. It is worth that you learn more about it because it isn't just a trend.
