After his legal clerkship in Pfullingen and Reutlingen , he became a teacher at the trade school and Theodor-Heuss-Realschule in Lörrach . He was particularly interested in new teaching methods, which is why he turned to MOOCs and expanded them into a new format, the P4P (peer-for-peer) MOOCs. In 2006 he founded the Glanz Verlag , which initially published educational games.

Basics of communication science, analysis of online forums and conclusions regarding the conception of an educational portal and received a doctorate in philosophy at the University of Education in Freiburg.
