I try to live more with nature than just exploiting its resources. This also means that I spend most nights in a tent out there and I move from A to B on my bike or on my two feet. However, I believe it is not enough anymore to only reduce and compensate, in order to combat this climate crisis, and therefore, I founded the tree planting organisation TreeAthlete. At TreeAthlete we promote an active and sustainable lifestyle and plant climate resilient trees on agricultural lands, where there were no trees before.

Besides my mission to give back to nature, I am also an ultra runner. I prefer to move on my two legs through the mountains from dawn till dusk and the other way round. However, I also run ultra distances on the road and I am the German record holder at 24 Hour Running (278,3 km) and 100 Miles (12h35).
