After his Court-service, Carsten Frölich travelled extensively in the Middle-and Far East during more than ten years, and held the position as operational manager for Northern Iran with his residence in Tehran. Back in Denmark he studied Art History at the University of Copenhagen in order to strengthen his natural talent for Heraldry.
