Born second January 1981 in Rochlitz and grew up on the farm of his grandparents in Langenleuba-Oberhain.

Since the beginning of his life, he was always excited about working with horses. Hobby turned into a profession, starting with an internship with the German nations cup rider Heinrich Hermann Engemann.

After his internship, he spent three years working for the international showstable from Paul Schockemoehle where he could gain experience in training show horses and preparing young stallions for approvals.

His succeses went on as he worked for Nancy Gooding in USA, where he competed in international show jumping and made many useful contacts for business.
