I'm Justin, a US/German dual citizen based in Virginia, with the unrestricted right to live and work on both sides of the Atlantic. My family is planning our own move to Germany over the next several years. We're not packing tomorrow; we're a few years out, working through the same questions you probably are: which visa, which city, which timeline, what to do with the kids' schooling, what to do with the careers we already have.
My primary job is with a professional services firm in Virginia, where I've worked for over a decade, leading multiple project teams with a variety of clients. My work with my teams and clients shares a common thread: analyze dense regulations and translate them into information that people can act on and deliver results that survive scrutiny. That's not a bad description of what an EU-relocation advisor does either.
I have a Juris Doctor degree from Villanova University. I'm not licensed to practice immigration law in the US or any EU country, but my training informs my work and critical thinking abilities.
On the civic side, I'm Vice Chair of my county's Transportation Commission and President of my neighborhood civic association. Recently, I drafted policy briefings for government officials comparing transportation systems between Aachen, Germany and where I live in Virginia, which gave me a closer understanding of how US and EU localities differ. The walkable, transit-oriented urban policy I work on locally is the same policy area that draws many Americans toward European cities; I think about these tradeoffs from both sides.
I built movemeto.eu because the existing tools either funneled into a hard sell or buried data behind contact forms. The advisory work I offer below seeks to solve that problem by offering assistance that fits your needs and a low-stakes way to get answers to the questions an online tool can't answer on its own.
What I am not: an immigration lawyer (I have legal training but I'm not licensed to practice immigration law anywhere), a tax advisor, or a relocation agency. I don't file applications for you, I don't represent you to a consulate, and I don't tell you what your tax obligations look like. If you need any of that, I'll point you to people I trust.
