Growing up in Germany and living in Zürich, Switzerland since 2013, he has always been a curious person with a thirst for knowledge and connecting different  science disciplines. Through his experiences and stays in different cultures and through his various educational paths, he  accumulated many different perspectives and expertise. Privately, he is  also living a very varied life which is reflected in his various activities like reading and passing quiet moments in nature as well as cooking, surfing or dancing at electronic music parties.
Professionally, he has worked for several years as a coach and health consultant, in addition to various positions as a medical doctor, especially for psychiatry and psychotherapy but also for orthomolecular medicine. In 2020, shortly after  founding the surf your life Institute he was diagnosed with  the Long Covid Syndrome. In hindsight, this most difficult time in his life has certainly taught him some of the most important lessons in his life. His own experiences are therefore also reflected in the surf your life philosophy, following the quote of John Kabat Zinn.
