About Me

ABOUT ME

Where I come from

Born in Munich. Thats the area where the stereotype germans with the leathertrousers come from. Quickly moved to hessia into a small village. Luckily my parents worked for Lufhansa so I got to see a big chunk of the world from early age on.

Most of the time I lived in Marburg. Also studied economics over there. A few years ago it got to boring so I moved to Athens for half a year, just at the time when the austerity riots have been (on the photo you can seen the equipment for such an ocasion).

After that had half a year stop in Lübeck. Nice city in northern germany but sadly to sleepy in my opinion. Fortunalty did get a job in hamburg where I lived in St.Pauli just a five minute walk away from the reeperbahn.

Moved to Canada a few years ago. First two years in Halifax, then two years in Toronto, two years in Edmonton. Sort of living in Vancouver but nomading it right now.

What I do

Currently I'm working as a Game Designer. Acctually I studied economics but working in a computer games company seemed much more charming then working for a bank.

In my free time the most prominent thing is Boxing & Thai Boxing.

Yeah, and ofcourse the usual blabla meeting people, cooking, cinema, wasting time with stuff you have forgotten next week. I think you know what I mean.

------------------------------

How am I

I would consider myself easy going. I get along with almost everybody. When I was ten I moved into a boarding school. Living so close with a lot of people you realize that everybody is coco in some way. If you don't judge and let them be, life is so much easier for you and everybody else.
