About

I love football. And I know the sport from all its facets: as a player up to the fifth league, as a youth coach, as a referee in the youth and men's sector, as a long-standing official in my home club, as an employer at newspapers, clubs, associations or agencies and of course as a fan and happy spectator of all the 2014 Germany matches. Ever since I can remember, everything has revolved around the most beautiful sport. And that's what drives me every day. I am very grateful for this privilege of having turned my great hobby into my profession. I learned my professional trade at the Bundesliga clubs VfL Wolfsburg and Hannover 96 as well as in the editorial department of the DFL and as a social media manager at Jung von Matt Sports. I now look after professional footballers and content creators in the area of athlete marketing & creator management. In summary, my main areas of expertise are: Athlete Marketing & Brand Strategy | Social Media & Content Marketing | PR & Journalism
