Bastian Liebermann was born in the City of New York (USA). After he spent some of his childhood years there he and his family moved back to Germany, where he then lived for the remaining part of his youth and young adulthood.

After graduating from school he then worked as a media designer for about 2 years before he pursued his dream of flying helicopters.

He began his aviation career by getting his private pilot's license for helicopters in Germany. Having done some flying in Germany he then decided to go to the US to continue his training. Now he holds the FAA commercial pilot's license with an instrument rating and also is an instrument-rated flight instructor.

He now lives and flies in Maryland, USA, and still enjoys visiting family and friends in Europe.
