i was born on christmas day 1986 in cologne, germany.
according to my father, it snowed a lot that night.

the first single i have ever bought myself with my own money
was "the sign" by ace of base in 1993. still a nice song.
three years later i got my first longplay-record "homework"
by daft punk. i had never heard anything like that before.

it must have been around 1998 when i began
playing the guitar and learning how to use the computer.
now i sing and play in a band called MIT
and i still think that PAINT is an awesome programme.

around 2001 i got really obsessed with the world of the internet.
i started building my first websites, which no one but me could see,
as i didn't have the much-needed credit card to upload them.
well, now i make websites, which everyone can see.

i never had any major problems at school. but the last two years
at school were somewhat burdensome. but lastly i passed my
"diploma from german secondary school qualifying for university
admission or matriculation" in 2006 and i was unbelievably happy.

Winter 2007 i started my communications design studies at
UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES DUESSELDORF. at last i was
able to move out of my parent's house in cologne into my
flat in duesseldorf. since then i live in koeln.ddorf and i like it.

records, magazines and some people are the
things i love. due to the fact that one can touch
each of them. i also admire some digital living.
so fast. so much information. so good!
