In 2002 he founded a wholesale company for regional gift merchandise from the Ruhr region. He is the managing director of the Industriekult-Verlags GmbH.[1]

Career

In February 2013, he published his first book entitled Schantall, tu ma die Omma winken! (Schantall, go ahead and wave at Grandma) through Schwarzkopf & Schwarzkopf, which became a bestseller.
