Short Bio:
I was born in 1980 in Nuremberg, Germany. When I was around 8, my mom bought my brother a unicycle, so he would strengthen his back. So this was my first contact to circus skills. A few years later, my mom attended a juggling course and brought home all the balls and clubs. In 1992 we went to see the gala show of a juggling convention with my family and that was when said I want to be on stage. So my first solo performance was around 1993. It was a 2min 3 ball juggling peace and I performed in school in front of 1000 people. I had around 10 drops in 2 minutes, but I didn´t give up.
In 1996 I went to live and go to school in Bolivia for a year. My first big solo travel experience. It was a great year.
After school during my civil service I decided to become a teacher for handicapped people and went to university for more than six years. I studied in Germany and Hungary and it was cool, but somehow juggling became more and more important to me, so I finished my studies and became a professional juggler. That was in 2007. Since that I travel around, presenting my shows.
Defining moment in my juggling history: I presented my act Pinball Paranoia for the first time in 2007 on the open stage of a Juggling Festival in Poland. Beforehand I really couldn´t imagine, if people would like it or not. People´s reactions made me cry.

3 things you didn’t know about me:
- I play the pan flute.
- I started unicycling before juggling.
- I can whistle two tones in the same time. But it sounds horrible.
If I weren’t a juggler, I would be: probably a teacher
Time it took me to learn 5 balls: I don´t remember. Usually this kind of stuff takes me a lot of time.
Is juggling sport or art? For me it is art. That doesn´t necessarily mean, that I don´t like sport juggling.
If I were a juggling equipment, I would be: a paranoid pinball
Jugglers in my family: my mom juggles a little bit.
Juggling equipment that has not been invented yet: fire kendama
Famous juggler i’d love to pass with: I´m not a big passer.
