Media & Writing
In parallel to my professional endeavours, creative pursuits have kept me busy. With a wide spectrum of things that interest me, and a penchant for digital creation, I've found outlets for these in various projects. From writing, photography, video and podcasting, I've always engaged in ways to share with others.

Black Forest BBQ
From 2010 til 2013, I was a Youtube partner with my Black Forest BBQ video channel. Working under the name "der Schwartzwald Texaner" I created videos to help bring Americans BBQ closer to interested German hobbyists. The project was very successful, leading me to partner with brands, producers and gave me opportunities to write and hold workshops.
