Family man.
Married to Lore, proud father of two wonderful kids.

Programmer.
I built my first website on a 486. Bought a second-hand Mac to run Photoshop because I was convinced I’d become the greatest web designer ever. Writing JavaScript to bring my designs to life made me fall in love with programming. That’s when it clicked — design and development can be one and the same.

Maker.
I like my tech simple, stupid, and hackable. There’s something deeply satisfying about cracking open a device and modifying it to do exactly what you need.

Builder.
I enjoy working with my hands to create beautiful things. Recently, I built a garden office — from concrete pad to final coat of paint.

Business owner.
I run a small company called Frontier, building stunning websites for local governments. With our in-house developed, secure, and user-friendly CMS, we help clients navigate their digital transformation.

Biologist.
I hold a Master’s degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Biology is about wonder — and whenever I’m in awe of nature, I feel the urge to understand it.

What else?

I also brew my own beer, play squash, watch stand-up comedy, enjoy fine dining, love long drives — and much more.
