He worked at the Neuruppin weather station until 1997, most recently as a civil servant for life and studied at the same time at the Federal University of Applied Sciences for Public Administration .
From 1999 he worked with Jörg Kachelmann at Meteofax / Meteomedia , with a short break, which is now MeteoGroup through a company takeover . He then moved to the Munich-based company Cumulus Media GmbH. There he creates and presents alternately with the moderators Claudia Kleinert , Sven Plöger and Karsten Schwanke weather reports and reports, currently mainly for the ARD morning magazine.
In 2020 he appeared on the game show Did you know? as an expert on the subject of Hurtigruten .
