I set up my company in 1983, starting with design and construction in exhibition, museum and interior.

1984 a technical job for the German Film Museum, Frankfurt, got me in contact to film people. The idea of doing special effects was born.

Getting into special effects took a while. For many years my work consisted of design, technical engineering, construction and film jobs.

Berlin is a good place to live. Nevertheless I was looking for a new challenge - and found it. In 2008 I moved to Dublin and restored an old cottage to live in. From my old workshop I brought over what fitted into one container.
