I lived in some parts of the world already now, even being just 23.

I was born in Germany, went to the States with 15. I am permanent resident now. I temporarily went to Australia to study and play tennis in 2010. I met so many people from all over the world and a lot of them are still friends to me and not just as they are defined on Facebook.

My coach in Germany, Chris Spencer, was English and had worked with Bollettieri in Florida. At Newk’s in Texas I met my friend Chris Novic, Australian with European roots, who helps me with getting a tennis coach at the moment.

In Summer I want to be a certified fitness coach/Personal Trainer in addition.

 I am living in Texas since I was 15 years.

I got a Green Card some years ago. Now I am close to be a real US citizen.Newk's in New Braunfels Texas was home to me for more than 5 years. It was a great time with Phil and Bob, now assistant coach at Texas A&M. Playing doubles also after 9 p.m. just for fun made me the player I am in doubles now. With my partner I was #1 in boys 18 in Texas and # 9 in the nation even as an alien not being allowed to play Nationals.

I also lived in Lincoln/Nebaraska and Beaumont/Texas and played college tennis.

Chris  Novic runs a tennis academy in Townsville. I am a coach there. We met at Newks in the US, but I allways already had this good feeling with Australian tennis. The foto shows me and my team in Dusseldorf, where Pat Cash and his coach held a practice session and I earned a black and white checkered headband, for returning a serve of Pat Cash.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Germany is where my parents and my sister live and where I am on holidays.
I am there usually for the summer and play tennis in my club, which is now TG Nord one of the rare clubs still building a brand new tennis indoor facility.. In 2011 we made it to stay in 2. Verbandsliga. I just played three matches and lost just one very close by coming directly from the flight from Australia. I had missed my flight in Australia, but made it just on time to arrive in Dusseldorf

 

 

 

 

 

I was #1 in Texas in boys 18 doubles and # 9 in the US. A big part of my tennis life I spent at the John Newcombe Tennis Academy. Phil the director of the academy became a second father to me, with all the trouble you also can have in a family.I met my idol Roger Fedderer in Halle/Germany at the only grass court event in Germany. I played the ITF juniors tournament there. He signed my laptop.

I also met Thommy Haas there. I love playing doubles more than singles. In doubles I won an ITF juniors tournament in EL Paso with my best ever doubles partner Jeremy Reed. Doubles is pure fun. I just defeated a former #45 of the ATP tour with my Australian partner David Single, winning a tournament in Townsville.

 

My club was SG Überruhr. I played as a goalie in the highest junior class.

Goalies are crazy like left-handers is a saying in handball. Therefore I am one of those crazy boys. But I loved it showing the opponent my mouth guard at a  penalty throw. And also my well colored goalie dress and for some times also green shoes I loved very much and I was known for.

For two years I even came back from the US, helping my team advancing to the “Oberliga” in some important qualifying matches. Team handball is a hard sport, but I never got injured. May be because I always was well protected with my mouth guard and all the other stuff you have to wear.

Many of my teammates from those days now advanced with their men’s team to “Verbandsliga” in 2011, a big success for the club.

I am sorry that I cannot see lot of those matches because always when I am home there is off-season in team handball.
