About

Here you can find out a bit about me. This is an ongoing project and far from finished. Currently I cannot work on this very often as I lack spare time. Therefore I just put this fragment up and will add more (especially pictures) whenever I have the time. If there's something you've always wanted to ask me just do it and I will put your question and my answer on this page.

What else?

I'm a gamer. I love both video games and boardgames. I'm a member of a boardgaming club. I own 80+ board- and/or cardgames. And I still have the feeling that I need more.

I'm a movie freak. In Karlsruhe I lived across the street of a great movie theater. Sometimes I was there 4 times a week. Now I go to the movies at least once a week.

I have some art skills. But I'm not good enough to make a living with it. I want to practise more to maybe someday be able to do just that though.
