From 1971 to 1999 he was busy growing up in and around Hamburg. Camouflaged the whole thing with a high school diploma and a university degree in ethnology (topic: “Cultural characteristics of MUDs and chatrooms”). Started as a copywriter at Kabel New Media while still a student. Became father of two boys. After graduating, I keep on learning by working as a copywriter, editor, text and concept CD as well as team coach. Since 2012 on the road as a freelancer.

It’s often annoying that I only get fragments of projects and rarely see their launch. And the way agencies deal with freelancers has become as robust as the way companies deal with their agencies. But I like freelance work: the necessary flexibility in constantly new team and project constellations prevents everyday routine from undermining the joy of experimenting.
