In 1997, during his business studies at the University of Essen in Germany, he began his first, and in 1999 he sold this company to his co-founder and went back to university and graduated as Dipl.-Kaufmann. Between 2002 and 2006 he worked as a consultant in Düsseldorf. At the end of 2006 he quit his job, moved to Berlin and started bondea, a social network for woman.
