I was born on the 20th of January 1968 in Gmünd/Lower Austria.

I attended primary and secundary school in Bad Großpertholz/Lower Austria. Then I graduated at the Technical College in Hollabrunn/Lower Austria in Electrical Engineering.

Then I earned my masters degree in Business Administration at the Viennese Economic University. I finished my Studies with a doctors degree in Ecomomic and Social Sciences at the Viennese Economic University.

In my professional carrier I managed different branches of ÖAMTC (Austrian Automobil Club) as Frontier Stations, Internal Services etc. Now I´m in charge of Finance.

I´m Knight of the Order of St. George und earned several other awards.

I do voluntary work for sports since I´ve been 14 years old. Among others I was member of the the bord of the Lower Austrian Football Federation, I´ve worked for the Chess Federation. Since 2007 I take care of Austrian National Teams in yoth, elite class an most of all in masters athletics. To be onest, Masters Athletics is one of my passions!

As athlete I´m a race walker. I´m not really good, but I love doing it.

The best thing about Masters Athletics is to get the opportunity to make friends all over the world!
