(Somewhere backstage on the With Full Force Festival in 1999)

I study Biology and work as  Guitar Technician mainly for Gamma Ray.  I also work and worked for Destruction, Iron Savior, Roland Grapow, Steel Prophet, Edguy, Pegazus, Jag Panzer, Labyrinth, Grave Digger, Tom Angelripper, Rage, Iced Earth and Blind Guardian (my first Tour in 1991).

I also do the concert booking for Gamma Ray, Destruction, Edguy, Freedom Call, Iron Savior, Raise Hell, Rhapsody, Virgin Steele and many more at ALL ACCESS.

That's why you might also find some Pictures of  "famous" people here.

The next Pic shows Kai, myself, Dirk and Henjo at Nagoya Prince Hotel on the GAMMA RAY Japanese Somewhere out in Space-Tour in 1997 (Pic by Atsushi Yasumoto).

The next 2 Pics show the famous HAMMERFALL Kimono-Party at Shinagawa Prince Hotel in Tokyo after the last Show of the first HAMMERFALL Japan Tour in January 1999.

This is me, coming out of my room and meeting Patrik "Obi-Wan" Räfling, the former drummer of HAMMERFALL (Pic by Patrik Räfling).

This shows the Band, the Crew and some Fans who joined the Kimono-Party (Pic by Frank Albrecht).
