I was born on December 9, 1946, in Glasehausen, Heiligenstadt district in Eichsfeld. I studied electronics in Mittweida, worked for Texas Instruments in Freising for 30 years and traveled worldwide. I have been a church musician as a side job for 50 years now. I have a family with three children and eight grandchildren, and we enjoy traveling and hiking. My spiritual background is Christian ecumenical. My music is mainly intended for part-time church musicians, is easy to perform, and accompanies the entire church year, as well as the joyful and serious aspects of our existence. The choral arrangements are adapted to the lack of male voices; I have come to love the “lean” arrangement.
