ABOUT ME: I grew up in Central Switzerland in a village next to Lake Lucerne. With four siblings, I'm the middle one, my childhood included different sports and lots of playing. After school I made an apprenticeship as an electrician and afterwards concentrated on my passion skiing. I would say I'm kind of a late bloomer in my sport. But with 27 years I look back on my best season so far. All these years I loved this sport and everything that comes with it. The competition, the emotions, the traveling with my teammates and of course the skiing itself. 

Apart from skiing I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, reading and sports in general. Sometimes I tend to too much thinking but going towards 30 I still preserve the child within myself..
