Innsbruck, Tyrol, Austria
It is of great importance to me to keep combining my infinite passion for music and my career. With over 20 years of experience and a keen eye for details my broad skillset includes business management, financial accounting as well as live shows- and event- logistics. Having worked as a club owner, promoter, DJ and currently working as an employee for the market leader in band- & crew bussing supply I have the ability to see the live industry from different sides of the table. I am above-average committed, extremely well-organized and target-oriented with the capability of thinking in strategic and analytic patterns as well as anticipating and troubleshooting issues well in advance. I’m a passionate music enthusiast and record collector with more than 10,000 records.

“Weekender presents” was an Innsbruck based concert/booking/event - agency. It developed out of the business which has founded and operated the legendary venue "Weekender Club" (2006 – 2017). By using my skills and network I was able to promote and book several live shows/events in the Tyrolean area (f.ex. Bilderbuch, Donots, La Brass Banda, Seiler & Speer, We Are Scientists, Cari Cari, The Quireboys, Kettcar, Blaze Bayley, ...)
As Marketing & Sales Manager of Hard Rock Cafe Innsbruck I was responsible for directing marketing and sales efforts that align with the overall Hard Rock Cafe operating strategy. Part of it was developing and implementing a sales and marketing program to help effectively launch and promote Hard Rock Cafe Innsbruck in the Tyrolean area, especially in the initial stages of operation. In addition I managed Social Media networks based on Hard Rock's brand standards.
Weekender Club was a 400 capacity sized music venue in Innsbruck, Tyrol, Austria. It was best known throughout Austria and beyond for for hosting more than 1600 live shows (f.ex. Peter Doherty, Boysetsfire, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Cannibal Corpse, Sugar Hill Gang, Obituary, Frank Turner, Nada Surf, Portugal.The Man, AnnenMayKantereit, The Subways, Blues Pills, Sophie Hunger, Kadavar, Boy, Protoje, Lagwagon, Cro, Milky Chance, La Brass Banda, Adam Green, Casper, Kraftklub, Dispatch, Broilers, Wanda, Crowbar, Bilderbuch, Madball, Delinquent Habits ...) and even more events & parties (f.ex. Silent Disco, Karaoke Bash). Our aim was to bring Innsbruck on the musical map. I made sure and supervised that the venue ran in every aspect and was representative for the whole Weekender organisation. Key elements were the overall financial management as well as the booking of live shows / events and their implementation. In these times I regularly DJ'd at several events at the club and on special occasions at national & international partner clubs and festivals. After very successful and exciting times my business partner and I have decided to bring a closure to the business. Difficulties with neighbours, unrealistic official requirements, increased costs for supplies and an imminent introduction of ‘costly to implement’ new regulations from authorities have taken the pleasure away from operating the venue.
In 2012 I teamed up with the the organizers of the Wiesenrock Festival, a 1.200 capacity sized boutique festival in Wattens, Tyrol. I was responsible for the artist line-up, booking of the bands, advancing and production management on site.
