I grew up in Frankfurt am Main and went to school there and in the United States.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, as well as a second Master’s Degree in Management both from the Technical University of Munich.

During my Bachelor’s studies, I studied abroad in Morroco at the Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane.

During my university time, I developed the WAVE model, the first agile framework for bio-inspired hardware product development, and founded my first company Social Diving in 2018.

Among other places, I have also worked in Germany, USA, and Spain as an engineer for several large corporations.

When I’m not working on my music, with clients, or starting a new company you can often find me diving underwater. 🙂

I believe strongly in giving back to the community and have, therefore, been a firefighter on active duty for the Munich volunteer fire brigade from 2013 to 2023 and the Nuremberg Fire Brigade since 2024.

Music is truly my life.

My site is dedicated to a lot of what I do, but it’s music that keeps bringing me back.
