Work

I am an entrepreneur and freelance artist available for hire as an author, musician, producer and designer. As such, I create, deliver and ship a bunch of different things, some of which you can find on the “Portfolio” page on this website.

Life

My life and work revolves around my biggest passion: Music. I think you can not make the world a better place if you do not love what you are doing. After all, how can your work be of value if you do not value it yourself?

Eager to continuously learn new things, I try hard to keep broadening my mind in search of new experiences. My clients benefit from my comprehensive background in various areas.

Values

It might sound sappy, but I firmly believe in integrity, decency and sincerity. In a world full of greed and malevolence it might be tempting to just go with the flow. And even if that might easily make one rich, I think we should resist and respect each other under all circumstances. Being honest, particularly to yourself, can be painful at times. But what is left if we compromise and give up our beliefs?

Projects

In recent years, these have been my most notable ventures:

dead-on entertainment: I have been working as a producer, project manager and game designer in the video game industry for several years. I then founded my own development studio called “dead-on entertainment”, leading a small team of highly talented individuals. Although we offer services in various aspects of game development, we are specializing in the creation and polishing of original 2D art, illustrations, animations and user interfaces. Just head over to our company website and have a look at our portfolio.

Urgeschmack: What would be called “Primal Taste” in English is my website about the healthy paleo/primal lifestyle. In an effort to spread the word about this way of life throughout the German speaking countries, I have published hundreds of recipes, articles and videos so far. I also wrote and published two cookbooks.

Heavy Connection: I dare to say that among my passions, music is by far the biggest one. Nothing else touches me the way music does, makes me cry, makes me feel good. Heavy Connection is a project that aims to improve the live performances of artists as well as the live experience of the audience.

Wolfi setzt den Trend: I also wrote and published a children’s book (“Wolfi sets the trend”). After reading it I found out that I had kind of written an autobiography. It is available both as a paperback and as a free download.

So what else do I do? Well, on top of the things I mentioned above, be it…

  • …shooting and editing live music performances,
  • helping other artists achieve their goals,
  • …building custom guitar speaker cabinets,
  • writing books,
  • …playing a couple of musical instruments,
  • …recording and mixing musicians,
  • …hosting a Heavy Metal radio show or
  • …giving lectures on healthy nutrition:

I have done it or am still doing it. And I love all of it. Even more so if I can do it while being close to an ocean. But that is a different story…
