How did you get hooked on snowboarding?

Probably trough Skateboarding as a lot of Skaters at my local park did it in the Winter and further on by watching the first videos and magazines like Isenseven, Pirates and Pleasure Magazine, MbM…

When did you decide you wanted to ride as much as possible and put your energy into that direction ?

I guess right from the beginning when I started watching Isenseven Movies my goal became to hopefully get to live the life they got just being able to make Snowboarding your life and get to travel the world and ride with your friends.

Who are the people you look up too and why?

Eero Ettala, because he is the sickest and most dedicated overall snowboarder out there and also Tom Tramnitz and Werni Stock, because their Backcountry riding is just on another level going big, stylish and technical at the same time.

How do you think people perceive you ? What could they mention about you as a person, as a rider?

I hope people perceive me as nice and easy to talk to? I guess my riding style in relation to my size (1,91m) is mentioned quite often and that I like to joke around :)

If you weren’t snowboarding what would get you stoked on life?

Probably Skateboarding and Surfing. Sideways for life haha!

What’s your definition of style?
