About me |
|
| The life of every person is composed
of multiple pillars formed by the life they have lived and
are inter-linked and supplement each other. |

My name is Roman Zaller,
I was born in Vienna, Austria, in 1966.When I was drafted
in the Austrian Armed Forces, I decided to be a
real solder and I volunteered for the Special Forces Unit
"Jagdkommando", the toughest and most demanding
unit in the Austrian Army. There I learned the meaning of
determination, self sacrifice and standing up for ones fellow
soldiers. The arduous training at Jagdkommando
taught me close combat, military tactics and the most important
aspects of security.
In 1987 I was promoted to Non-Commissioned Officer. |

After learning so
much about myself and how to push my limits I decided to
move on with my civilian education. Never one to take the
easy path, I attended a five-year educational program for
construction engineering in addition to my day job at the
Austrian Army. During this time I learned the trade as an
engineer as well as how to manage large teams of construction
workers, draughtsmen and assistants. My military training
in leadership was very helpful in this challenge.
In 1997 I completed my education in construction engineering. |

| After completing my studies I began to look
for new opportunities within the army system. The intent
was clear in my mind. I wanted to take over leadership responsibilities
as a commissioned offiver. Aiming at the goal I commenced
officer's training to become a logistics officer and to
learn the related topics of organization, logistic necessities
and communication. In 1999 I got promoted to officer's rank,
upon which I went on to serve as an engineering officer
in war-torn Afghanistan and other parts of the Middle East. |
