Long time ago ...
I was born in Hamburg, Germany. After
high school in Hamburg and
Kaltenkirchen I toured the United States,
Jamaica, and a tiny bit of Canada for an entire year by bicycle (altogether
about 10,000 miles). This I enjoyed so much that I vowed to myself that I
would some day live at one of the many beautiful places I visited. After my
return to Germany I spent a few years at the University of Passau where I graduated
with a "Diplom Informatiker" (roughly a masters in computer science). After
my very last oral exam I heard that Skip Ellis was
starting a new research
group at the University of Colorado
at Boulder. I applied and got a research assistantship. I arrived at Boulder in mid 1992. There I also
met my wife Zulah Eckert. After we both graduated we moved to Cupertino, CA
in 1999.
