Since my childhood sports has always been a central element of my life. Experiencing your own abilities to perform, dealing with success and defeat and continuously working to achieve your goals - all of these things have been important experiences in my life.

I have been introduced to skiing by my father and skiing definitely was the love of my life. For almost 26 years ski racing has accompanied me year after year. Already at the age of five I discovered my enthusiasm for this sports. Every weekend and every free week in winter my father and I travelled from one resort to the other to go skiing. And soon enough the training was not only limited to the cold season.

I competed in numerous national and international races, experienced some wonderful moments of success but also difficult times and bitter defeats, but in retrospect I remember more great moments at many different places. Of all sports skiing had the biggest and most palpable influence on me as a person and it helped me to relatively soon understand the meaning of "Passion & Performance".

Abseits von Schnee und Eis gab es natürlich immer eine vielzahl Sportarten, die entweder zum Trainingszweck,
Freude an der Bewegung oder Abenteuer Position bezogen. Durch meinen magnetischen Bezug zu
Wettkämpfen fand ich mich natürlich in vielen anderen Sportarten immer wieder am Start.

A bike has always been a loyal companion throughout my life. My first rides led me from "stunt young gun” to BMX races - and gave me numerous bruises. Years later I received my first mountain bike which I had "finished” about two months afterwards. A week later I had a contract and a new bike - ready to go. However, it took quite long until I realized that endurance sports is not at all my domain and that in this field I could not live up to my expectations. Therefore I started to compete in MTB downhill and dual slalom races, which saved me the suffering I experienced in the cross country competitions and corresponded more with my athletic type.

Over the past years my mountain bike activities were mainly limited to the annual MTB free-ride holidays and internal Adrenaline-forever.com competitions.

But unfinished things usually come back! In 2005 out of the blue I re-discovered my joy in competitions of endurance sports, maybe because of my new race bike or through my professional involvement with athletes or my girlfriend and her love for triathlon - "I am again into it!” And it was terrific and at the same time amazing for me to discover that I met lots of people with very similar emotional objectives at the individual time trials in which I participated. Since 2008 I have been competing for the team KUOTA 2Radchaoten.com

I used to have the motto "cold water or beach holidays - no way!"
But in 2000, after a little detour from paragliding to kite-surfing, water sports entered my life. I love to follow the wind and the waves and I am totally into kite-surfing now. Kite-surfing made me travel to various continents and as long as the kite is up in the air I "the king of swim course dropouts” am not in danger.
