Global Horizons USA was founded in 2013 by Paul Hallgrimson, who has more than 40 years of experience in this field, together with his son Markus. Paul Hallgrimson, a former High School teacher in the US and Bundesliga Basketball coach in Germany, and his son Markus Hallgrimson, who has a long and successful college and professional basketball career in the top Leagues in Europe and beyond. Markus also attended an American high school and graduated from college.
Peggy Winkelmann, who had her exchange year in the US organized by Paul no less than 20 years ago, completes the team in Germany where we have our European Headquarters.
In addition, we work with selected partners throughout Europe and value our relationship with schools and local coordinators in the US.
