I really enjoy teaching (young) people music/drums.
It´s not just a "job"; I´m really thankful that i have the chance
to help people grow and see how fast they improve.

But it´s all about balance.

Working with different people in different genres is important for me.

I also play a lot of concerts as a sub. I accept every challenge.
