Successes:

Vice world champion ski flying
Birthday: 11/27/1999
Profession: Customs official
Club: WSV Oberaudorf
Hobbies: Sports in general (walking, cycling, hiking, etc., but especially water skiing); I like video games, both PC and console; films and series
Role model: I don’t have a single role model per se. However, there are people in all areas who are more professional and experienced than I am. I try to get to be more like these people in those areas, whether it’s in personal development, dealing with the media, or sports. What's important to me: It’s important to me to have a stable environment and to know there are people I am important to and who are also important to me. Also good team spirit, and knowing that you always support each other. Besides, of course my sport is important to me, and I always do my best. But the most important thing is to always play fair!
