General Interest

General
TATTOO
He has a tattoo of a dragon on his left arm, which he says is related to an interest in Japanese culture. "The tattoo is a symbol of power and strength. But I also just like the Japanese culture. First and foremost, I see this as body art, but I also feel a bit drawn to the Far Eastern tradition." (bundeswehr-sport-magazin.de, 22 Jun 2020)

FURTHER EDUCATION
After studying for a bachelor's degree in economics and business administration at the Eberhard Karls University of Tubingen, in 2017 he began studying for another bachelor's degree in psychology at Leipzig University in Germany.
