Über den Autor

Ernst Bromeis was born in 1968 in Ardez, a town in Switzerland's Lower Engadine region. After completing a degree in education, he taught at an elementary school in Zuoz. Ernst followed that up by studying athletics at the University of Basel. He then specialized in the training high-performance athletes at Swiss Olympic. Ernst next worked as a communications specialist and as a manager of athletic and other events for the resort of Lenzerheide. A further position was as a journalist at SRG/Radio Rumantsch. At the end of 2007, Ernst Bromeis founded "Das Blaue Wunder", and made this "blue miracle" his life's calling. This entails his going on marathon swimming expeditions, and his serving as an "ambassador for water". These endeavors form the subjects of the talks that he gives in schools and universities and at companies. Ernst also helped launch the UN's Water Weeks in Scuol, Switzerland. His dedication to saving our water encompasses its role in tourism and his working with "Solidarit'eau Suisse", a water solidarity project of Switzerland's DEZA agency for international development. Ernst Bromeis is married to Cornelia Camichel-Bromeis, a theologian. They have three children. The family lives in Davos Platz, Switzerland.
