Initially rowing for WSV Bad Honnef, he later changed to RTHC Bayer Leverkusen.[1] He attended all World Rowing Championships between 1988 and 1995. He was regarded as a leader among his rowing colleagues, had a disciplined training regime, and an aim for perfection.[1]

At the 1988 World Rowing ChampionshipsinMilan, he competed with the lightweight men's eight and came fourth. He won a gold medal at the 1989 World Rowing ChampionshipsinBled with the lightweight men's four. He retained his world championship title with the lightweight men's four at the 1990 World Rowing ChampionshipsinTasmania.[2]

After the German reunification, he competed at the 1991 World Rowing Championships with the lightweight men's four in Vienna and came sixth. At the 1992 World Rowing ChampionshipsinMontreal, he won bronze with the lightweight men's quad scull. Changing back to sweep rowing, he competed at the 1993 World Rowing ChampionshipsinRačice in the lightweight men's pair, and he won a bronze medal together with Herbert Vogt. At the 1994 World Rowing ChampionshipsinIndianapolis, he competed with the lightweight men's four and won bronze. His final international competition was the 1995 World Rowing Championships, where he came fourth with the lightweight men's eight.[2]

In 2010, he obtained a doctorate in sports science, with the title of his thesis "Interaktionsproblematik im Riemenzweier der Sportart Rudern" (Problematic of the interaction of paired sweep rowers in the sport of rowing).
