born in 1967 I lived my life until today in Düsseldorf where I grew up and Hamburg where I started to work as a journalist.
from 1998 to 1996 I studied at the german universities of Wuppertal, Duisburg and Hamburg (german languages, economics, geografy and political science) and finished in Hamburg with a  degree in politcal science.
from 1995 on I work as a journalist for a variety of german print papers on economic, social and politcal issues. I started writing about renewable energies.
1998 I publish a book about solar technology - a comparision of politics in the EU, Japan and the US.
1999 I met Frank Asbeck, who was CEO of the unknown solar sales company SolarWorld with 10 employees. We agreed upon the cooperation in strategic and press related issues - a reason why the company haven’t had a press departement until 2008. I consulted Asbeck for his IPO, found the words to publish  the companies decisions. But with the time the realtionship suffered and the partnership ended in 2008. Obviously the solar king felt himself offended by my novel Wertberichtigung, which was published in 2008.
today I work as journalist and author. I love writing stories about people and cultures to help showing the worlds beautiful variety.
