I’ve been infected with festival fever since 1992 and am fascinated by the flexible interplay of the most varied disciplines. Work – leisure – colleagues – friends – family. True love!
I like punk and cats. But what I love even more is to work artists from all over Switzerland, to interact with their works, and to experience the emotions. To sum it up: Music above all, always.
In 1974, at the tender age of 14 while attending a Rolling Stones concert in Bern I realised: This will become my world! Organising concerts, bringing people together, creating collective experiences, spreading joy.

That tingling feeling when the festival opens its doors, the first sounds from the stage, radiant faces and dancing people coming together. Goosebumps. Heightened awareness. That’s why I pour my heart and soul into this.
Always looking for something new, or as DJ Bobo once said: «A little melody keeps spinning on my mind tonight. I gotcha! It’s the song about Chihuahua.»
OpenAir St. Gallen, since 1991, a major benchmark at barely 18 years of age. Juggling numbers is great fun in such a lively environment. A life without festivals, concerts, encounters – unimaginable!
Addicted to music, concerts and all the beautiful mess around it since 2007!

A dancing, singing, happy wave of people moves my heart deeply. And exploring nature with my animals nourishes my soul. Typical bookkeeper!

In 1993 a dream became true: I changed my career, joined the OpenAir St. Gallen, and turned my hobbies into my profession. The most beautiful aspect? The encounters with many great people from all over the world.
A picture is worth a thousand words!

More drive than talent and 100% for music.
Zero mistakes at the bike-riding exam, 100% positive reviews at the Ricardo auction site.
Since 2005 have I been in the event industry, working in several fields – ticketing, production, cashless and managing AV techniques. The festival scene has always been special to me. After 4 summers with OpenAir St. Gallen as an external collaborator, I`m happy to finally be part of the cashless team of Gadget in St. Gallen.
I began organising concerts while still in secondary school. It soon became apparent: I’ll turn this passion into my profession. In 1994, I founded the Gadget agency. The rest is history. A history full of passion!
Concerts are very emotional events for me. It is nice to see how so many different people come together in this way.
From fast bass, German rap bangers to 80s indie rock: music is a constant companion in my life.
Numbers are my forte, and accounting offers a wide range of tasks. Performance indicators tell stories, as does music. I really enjoy working in such a diverse industry.
Used to skip school for concerts, turned concerts into my profession.
If I find myself in the midst of thousands of people surrounded by captivating music, I’m happy. To convey this feeling to others gives me the greatest joy.
it always works somehow.
I would move mountains for good food, a crisp draft beer and good live music – what better task could there be than to help create exactly these unforgettable moments for our audience.

Part-time job, full-time passion
Don’t cook the books, just turn the page for a new chapter. Keep striving and be kind!
Music, events, and many emotions. That’s what I love!
Punk rock and ska, these are my roots. Then came a few initial concerts, first on a small scale, then for clubs and festivals. My musical spectrum has become bigger, but the joy has remained.
Around the turn of the millennium, Mike Skinner of The Streets rapped: “Let’s Push Things Forward”. The same kind of passion has driven me for the past 20 years. Because Skinner is also in on another secret: “None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive”.
Music touches and connects people. I know that from my own experience as a player of the hammered dulcimer. To be a part of this creative process brings me great joy.
In 1984 Duran Duran released their live album „Arena“. I was just 10 years young and was mesmerized… Since then, my inner compass passionately follows music, live business and vinyl records…
What would your answer be if you didn’t know the question?
Ever since the OpenAir St. Gallen has become a fixed part of my life in the early 1990’s, the music industry has taken a hold of me. A matter of the heart!
In 1995, the founders of Gadget allowed me to take a glance behind the scenes. I was immediately captivated. As promised, I returned to the Gadget team after a trip around the world, and I have been there ever since.
Be nice.
I am very family oriented and love to spend time with my friends and family. In my free time I am often on the football field and play football in the club.
Happy to help out after all these years together.
Festivals
Forgetting everyday life for a moment and diving into another world. This is exactly why I love concerts & festivals. This is exactly why I love what I do.
Half of the streamings of The National are due to me, and the Sittertobel has been my home away from home since the tender age of 15. Also: a distinct weakness for quiet tones and goosebump moments under an open sky.
As a child, I decided that I’d join the circus when I was grown up. I got close!
