Where when and why did you start snowboarding?

1993 in Brambrüesch, next to Chur. Straight line downhill skiing got boring and snowboarding slowly hit my hometown area.

When did you realize you want to become a pro snowboarder?

When I moved to Davos to start school in 1998 and I've got the chance to ride daily.

What's your favorite terrain right now and where do you want to improve in the future?

I love to play around in natural terrain and also want to improve my skills there. But I'm still a lot into pipe riding and it's always good and fun to try new tricks in the park.

What´s the best/worst thing about being a pro snowboarder?

Traveling.

Who are your influences in the sport itself and in life in general?
