I have a profound appreciation for a diverse array of pursuits. Sports, particularly soccer, skiing, and running, have always been integral to my interests. Growing up in Germany, soccer played a significant role in my life, and I continue to avidly follow the Bundesliga, especially Bayern Munich.
Cooking is another passion of mine, especially barbecuing. Experimenting with flavors and techniques excites me, and lately, I've been perfecting pizza dough and crusts. Gardening also brings me joy, particularly growing my own tomatoes and vegetables.
Above all, my family is my greatest source of joy. I've been happily married to my wife, Anja, for 24 years, and we have three wonderful children: Leonie, Ben, and Till.
