There is not much to say about me.

Resume

I was born at Fort Belvoir, VA, USA on December 31st in 1981

My two lovely (yeah right!) sisters were born in 1983 respectively 1985 in Frankfurt, Germany.

In 1987 I started going to Hochfeldschule a elementary school in Ludwigshafen am Rhein Germany.

In 1992 I started visiting the comprehensive school Ernst-Bloch Gesamtschule.

I graduated and received my Abitur (A-levels, general qualification for university entrance) in 2001.

I then was drafted but instead of going to the military I went to the alternative services, which put me in the Mannheim Youth Hostel.   To bridge the time between community service and the University I jobbed at a part time agency. There I worked at a construction site and for the public garbage collection services.

In Oktober 2002 I could finally start studying Mathematics at the University of Kaiserslautern.

I  married my longtime companion in lilfe, Anastasia, in July of 2008. Two months later I graduated as "DiplomMathematiker, which is equivalent to master of science in mathematics.

Hobbies

Studying takes up most of my time, but in the little time I have I take care of my girlfriend, now wife. I try to learn as much as possible about programming languages, typesetting, photography, about photo-Manipulation and just about anything else that fancies me.
