STUDIES
He has studied geoscience at Heidelberg University in Germany. "I've always been interested in marine biology. Of course the animal world is also fascinating, but for me it was even more exciting to see what goes on underwater in general. Oceanography or geology, how the world is composed down there, are simply great disciplines. Since my course is so wide, I can also learn about how to deal with renewable energies." In 2017 he began studying on a business administration course. "The financial sector is something for my life after retirement from professional sport."
