I was born in Vienna on 4th April 1954 as a son of a photographer. During my schooltime I often helped my father in his sister photolab in the darkroom. For more than 35 years I worked for Bank Austria - Uni Credit Group in Vienna, Prague and Vorarlberg.

I showed my photos in exhibitions in Switzerland, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Austria and together with Vicepresident of FIAP, Joan Burgues Matisella, in Economic University of Havana/Kuba in March 2017.

From 2002 to 2013 I was the representative of VOAV (Austrian hotographer association) in Vorarlberg. There I organized many international photo exhibitions. From 2006 to 2015 I was president of VOAV.

Since 2008 I am the treasurer of worldwide FIAP (www.fiap.net).

My distinctions are MFIAP, EFIAP and HonEFIAP.
