In my private life, I am first and foremost a husband of a wunderful wife and father of a wunderful son.
In my free time, I enjoy running with my best friend, which we do on average four times a week. Sometimes we also compete together in 10-km races. I am preparing for a half marathon in the moment.
In addition, I have been playing chess since I was seven years old. I have always been doing voluntary work in several chess clubs and chess associations. In particular, I have been active for several years in various functions on the board of the Schachbezirk 5 Fankfurt e.V. — the umbrella organization of Frankfurt’s chess clubs. I am currently the deputy chairman, having previously served as chairman, treasurer, and tournament director for team competitions for several years. Organizing tournaments and acting as chess arbiter is as much a passion of mine as playing chess itself.
