My name is Redmer Luxem and this is a real name. I was born in Aachen (Germany) and have spent most of my youth in Esens (Ostfriesland, Germany). After a one year trip to Bedford, Indiana (USA),  I returned my old school the NIGE to graduate from highschool in 1990.

From there I went of to study business administration, with a focus on information systems, at the University of Siegen up till 1995.

To get my doctorate in information systems I moved to Münster, where I have been teaching, researching and working at the Department of Information Systemes of the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität for the last few years.

In 1997 there was another little visit to the US, this time learning and teaching at the College of Commerce and Business Administration of the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa.

The next stop will be a visit down under, where I will be teaching and researching information systems at the Department of Information Systems of the University of Melbourne.
