During a long trip to Australia in 2004, I spotted kites on the horizon for the first time. I had never seen this silent gliding, powered only by the wind, before – and was immediately captivated.
In 2008, I moved to Sils to work as a kitesurfing instructor in Silvaplana. The Engadine Valley quickly became my home. At the same time, I was constantly drawn to explore the world: On my travels, I primarily sought out deserted, remote locations to discover new areas and kitesurf there.
In 2011, I started kitesurfing in waves in Australia. Since then, I have explored many well-known and unknown wave spots – and with great passion and effort, I have also actively sought out new ones. Wave kitesurfing continues to fuel my watersports dreams.
In 2015, I discovered foil kitesurfing. Today, it's a beloved substitute for the lack of waves in Silvaplana. When wing foiling emerged in 2020, I gave it a try – and immediately fell in love with this new discipline. Today, I particularly enjoy the variety of kitesurfing, foiling, and wing foiling.
At Swiss Kitesurf, I manage the online shop and website, and I also love advising customers in the shop. I've now been working at Swiss Kitesurf GmbH for 16 years. Our team has become very close over the years – almost like a family. I love my diverse work and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.
Since becoming a father in 2017, I've largely given up traveling. In my free time, I enjoy riding my bike on trails and still take every opportunity to wing foil and kitesurf. However, I spend most of my free time and attention with my son.
