Born in Geilenkirchen on 16th March 1977, I now live in Münchsmünster (80 km north of Munich) in Bavaria. In 1991 I moved to Oxnard (California/USA) for a year, where I started skateboarding. After graduating from Gymnasium (Pfaffenhofen) in 1997 (Abitur), I attended the military service in Neuburg for 23 months, then studied English and history at Regensburg University. Now I am a teacher at the Realschule Kösching near Ingolstadt.

In my spare time I spend time with my family (wife an 2 sons), play tennis, sit in front of the computer working or playing or go skateboarding.

My biggest successes in skateboardng were place 35 at the 2001 European Championships and in Nov.2006 when I won the MTV/Sprite Street Battle.

My plans for the future: have a good time and skate and play tennis until my body falls apart.

My personality? I would say I am ambitious. loyal and cheerful.

Live your dreams...
