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 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. |

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.

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. |
