I'm Tim. I'm German. I'm really funny. 

And that's my story:

A confused amateur who wants to be a professional triathlete became a prospective account manager in a small agency in Hanover/Germany. End of story? Fortunately not. One day I followed a feeling in the eastern part of my stomach and tried an internship as a copywriter at Scholz & Friends Hamburg. This weird feeling, good friends, a lot of sports, great concerts, very very intellectual art house and the idea of writing a deep book kept me in Hamburg for more than seven years. From 2020 on I enjoyed some nice projects in Milan while trying to have a game of chess with Donatella V. at the same time. Long story short: I didn´t manage to meet Donatella. Che peccato! Anyway, right now I´m having a blast with some amazing people at VML in Berlin.

If you want to know how many scooters are in the canals of Berlin or if you like to challenge me in the pool, on the bike or while running feel free to say hello:
