As the son of a transport entrepreneur, I grew up surrounded by diesel engines. I loved being around drivers and mechanics, and tinkering was in my blood. So the workshop quickly became an important childhood home for me.

From a young age, everyone in the family contributed to the family business to the best of their ability, and so it happened that at the age of 17 I traveled to Munich to repair a stranded truck in a parking lot.

After my father's untimely death, the company was sold, and I started working as a mechanic at Langendonk TTS and later at Scania. After that, I ran my own transport company for a long time. But ultimately, it's just not my thing.

My old love for tinkering never completely went away, and that's why I decided to focus entirely on truck overhaul and restoration as a self-employed person.
