I grew up in a tiny village in East Germany. My
father was a sports teacher at the local school and
I took my first steps on the field.
In elementary school I trained under his guidance,
and participated successfully in track & field
competitions. My exceptionally good genetic
potential was obvious, and so since middle school I
trained four times a week. I specialized in javelin
and discus throw.
During my high school time, I played basketball, and
so almost every weekend I have been on the road and
traveled the whole country either as a player or
later as a referee.
However, I have always been a single fighter.
A cruciate ligament on my left knee broke the
basketball career abruptly and a subsequent hospital
stay with the compulsion to inactivity brought a lot
of time to think. During this time, my career
aspirations grew and in 1995 I began to study sports
science at the Faculty of the University of Leipzig
(former German College for Physical Culture and
Sports, DHfK). I also picked up the athletics
training (heptathlon) and supplemented this with
regular weight training.
In the meantime, I participated in cycling just for
the fun. Even when I had success.
Parallel to my studying, I began training at the
Institute for Applied Sciences and the Faculty as
one of the most recent scientific assistant to work.
I was concerned with measurements of advanced
dynamometric Kistler platforms and managed high
performance athletes terms of strength training in
the javelin and roller - and figure skating. To
finance my studies I also worked in a bike shop
(repairs and sales) and in the ski and snowboard
service and a small fitness center.
After completing my studies I moved to Switzerland
and initially managed the national team of
Switzerland in professional cycling.
Later, I began working as a Fitness instructor in a
huge fitness park.
After a very short time I became head coach,
established a performance diagnostics area in the
gym and was one of the first fitness instructors, a
Swiss Certified in Switzerland, and audit expert
fitness instructors. I also created a special
training performance for the school for aerobics and
fitness Zurich (Safs), and also served as a trainer.
Later I got the chance to set up a fitness center
that I managed using my care philosophy of that. In
short, I devoted myself entirely to the fitness
industry.
I coordinated job, family and training, and after 3
years of full throttle, I was so burned out that a
change in the situation was announced. I found a job
as a PE teacher and turned my focus again more on my
own training than on other people.
In 2001 I got my daughter Xenia and therefore there
was no time for the quite time-consuming training
and cycling thus left with only the strength
training. Since I am always looking for a challenge
in a contest, I did this also in bodybuilding. With
the receipt of the Pro card a dream became true for
me.
