His older brother Max has represented Germany in sailing, predominantly competing in the Finn class including at the world championships in 2019. His younger brother Johann competed in Laser at the 2016 Class World Junior Championships in Kiel, Germany. Their father Peter has also competed in the sport internationally. (sailing.org, 01 Jan 2020; extremesailingseries.com, 21 Jul 2015)

In 2017 he suffered a cerebral haemorrhage and needed a life-saving operation. He was unable to sail for several months. (yacht.de 01 May 2018)

He began sailing at age eight in the Optimist class. "I first started sailing in my parents' boat at very young age on the river Weser. I was not really good because I grew too quickly and was too heavy, so I went into a 29er." (a-cat.org, 14 May 2020; sailjuice.com, 23 Jun 2015)

"I was raised in a big sailing family. I have two brothers who also sail. My dad started putting us in boats from a really early age." (sailjuice.com, 23 Jun 2015)

To win a medal at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, and to compete in the America's Cup. (kohlhoffstuhlemmer.com, 01 Nov 2019; kaufhaus-stolz.com, 19 Jun 2019)

SHARK ENCOUNTER
During a training camp in Japan in 2019 his Nacra-17 boat crashed into a shark, leaving the boat with minor damage. "That is a part of sailing, but to be quite honest, we have not yet experienced it that often. Of course we know that on many of the waters on which we sail, there are whales and sharks, but it does not scare us and we have little contact with them. The shark did not really do us any harm, there was a bit of damage, but we escaped with our lives." (rtl.de, 26 Aug 2019)

NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE
In 2017 he suffered a cerebral haemorrhage during a training camp in Majorca, Spain, and needed a life-saving operation followed by a lengthy stay in hospital on the island. He and his crewmate Alica Stuhlemmer could not sail for several months during this time. "To go from being very fit, and in many ways consider myself immortal as a very young athlete, to being very close to never being able to do any of the things that you love as an athlete gives you a new look on not only sport, but on life. Every day I am grateful that I can still do sport and live a normal life." (welt.de, 22 Jun 2019)
