Guitar, loud amps and long tours

I've played guitar in different bands and toured across the CIS and Europe β€” small clubs, open-air shows, night drives between cities. Some of my best memories come from the road.

Long roads, wind and the sea

When I'm not at the desk, I'm probably on the bike. Fully loaded, rain gear packed, somewhere with good views and empty roads.

What keeps me going

Motorcycle

When the weather in Schleswig-Holstein allows it (and sometimes when it doesn't), I'm on the bike.

Blue, the dog

Head of household security, professional costume model and my best walking buddy.

Tattoo family

My wife is a tattoo artist β€” so there's a lot of art, ink and creativity at home.
