I was born in Duisburg in 1955. I am a genuine Ruhr area child and also a fan of Borkum. I am voluntarily active in the New Apostolic Church and have sung 39 years in a mixed community choir, until I took a time-consuming (volunteer) job within the church. My involvement in a men's choir has remained unaffected. In addition to composing, I also paint and write. There currently is a novel in the works. Since I am self-taught, I don't find it too difficult to master the necessary basics. For me it is just a matter of self-discipline. :-) I would be delighted if one or the other piece attracts interest.
