Born in Landsberg in 1987, raised in sunny Allgäu, I discovered playing the guitar at the age of fourteen and discovered guitar-making because of my distinctive enthusiasm for wood as a material.

I began my apprenticeship as a luthier in 2008 in the Gitarrenladen in Weingarten, where Andreas Dill and Franziska Kössl, two master luthiers, taught me the art of making guitars. I graduated in 2011 at the Musical Instrument Making School Mittenwald successfully.

After a short visit to Japan, where I had the opportunity to pursue my interests of Japanese culture, wood-working tools and guitar making, I continued working at the Gitarrenladen to gain some more experience in advising customers as well as repairing instruments, until 2013.

Since 2013 I have been working back in my homeland in Linden near Kaufbeuren in my own workshop, where I'm always looking forward to welcoming new people who are interested in my work!
