Max grew up just outside of Regensburg, Germany trying out all kind of sports including soccer, hockey and running. After the first running races he competed in track and cross country at a national level. Later he took up swimming after struggling with some injuries at 16 years old and finally ending up with Triathlon. After school he decided to pursue a degree while training and racing in two different US Colleges. Upon returning back after graduating he started his professional triathlon career in short distance racing. In 2022 he tried out a 70.3 race after racing numerous short distance world cups and eventually switched to longer distance racing in 2023. 2024 is his first full season in middle distance racing and it is just the beginning of something big. Lets bring it on!
