thomas imboden
Born in 1956, I am a self-employed cultural promoter, hospitality consultant, relaxation coach and family man, currently living in Zurich downtown, Switzerland.
My father, Josef Imboden (1914-2006), originated from the upper Valais, and migrated to Trun, a village in Surselva in Romansh speaking Grison, where he married Hedy Spescha (1927-2019) in 1954.
The second of their five children, I am myself the proud father of three grown-up children from a first marriage, as well as of two «adopted» daughters.
A rare gathering, in 2013: My then partner Tharushi (center), my youngest daughter Tamara (left), sons Nathan (left) and Andreas, as well as Tharaka, Nathan's fiancée, now my daughter-in-law.

Ich (*1956) bin selbständiger Kulturmanager, Hospitality-Berater, Entspannungs-Coach und Familienmensch und lebe zur Zeit in der Altstadt von Zürich, in der Schweiz.
Mein Vater, Josef Imboden (1917-2006), stammte aus dem Wallis und liess sich in Trun in der Surselva nieder, im rätoromanischen Graubünden, wo er 1954 Hedy Spescha (1927-2019) heiratete.
Als zweites ihrer fünf Kinder bin ich selber stolzer Vater dreier erwachsener Kinder aus erster Ehe und von zwei «adoptierten» Töchtern.
From left: daughters Tamara, Naaz, Aishi, my then partner Tharushi, and Fayaz, Aishi's husband. Missing are Charlotte and Nuha - it's impossible to get them all together in one place!
