I grew up in Lower Bavaria and spent much of my youth in the Berchtesgadener Alps. Over the years, I completed advanced alpine and glacier courses with Alpinewelten, including multi-pitch ice climbing, glacial travel, and alpine climbing.
Since then, I’ve led groups on remote, multi-day treks—managing heavy loads, route planning, and making decisions in unpredictable terrain.

I'm a full-time photographer and filmmaker with over 10 years of experience—mostly in commercial and automotive productions. I bring that expertise into the field, capturing strong visuals during remote trips.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Media Design and when not in the field run Plattform Studio: A shared photo and video production space – and a growing creative community in Mainz, Germany. -
