Born in Cologne, he moved to Munich after completing his studies. In 2002, a friend and mountain bike expert showed him the biking in the high mountains and he was “infected” by the Transalp virus. In recent years, Tom has successfully completed the DIMB Trailscout and DIMB MTB Guide exams. Tom loves to be out biking in the mountains every day. But he doesn't want to miss out culinary delights along the way.
