Hello! I’m a philosopher, writer, and singer-songwriter with a passion for movement—both in thought and on the trails. About fifteen years ago, I discovered my love for traveling through the Alps, whether by gravel bike or as a trailrunner. That passion eventually brought me to Innsbruck, where I now live.

Over the years, I’ve taught philosophy at various colleges, exploring ideas and perspectives with students from all walks of life. Now, I’m excited to find new ways to share knowledge, stories, and experiences with others.

Where our journeys might intersect

1. Traveling

Co-Created journeys and projects

  • Invite me as fellow explorer (Alps and beyond)

2. Words

Language as a shared compass—for stories, questions, and more stories

  • Dive into my essays, books (fiction/non-fiction), and theatre

  • Invite me as a guest speaker

  • Follow one of my online courses

3. Music

When words alone no longer suffice

  • enjoy my songs

  • Invite me for an intimate live performance

A path only becomes true when traveled

in sweat, in ink, in the silence between notes -

in all hesitations that harden into resolve.

And when you arrive,

not at an end, but where all paths converge

- a deeper beginning -

there der Alpenkönig stands:

not some distant guide,

but the echo of your own voice,

finally clear -

your own uncompromising truth,

reaching back to meet you.
