BIO


Tom, as he is called by his friends, practically inherited sailing as a profession, as his father competed in the Soling sailing boat class at the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. At the age of 7 he took part in his first Optimist regatta. He celebrated his first international successes with his former 420 partner Thomas Czajka in the 420 class. Junior European champions, junior world champions, many Austrian championship titles, and top placings in international and Olympic boat regattas were the reward on his ambitious path. The greatest success of his career he achieved together with Tanja Frank at the Olympic Games in Rio 2016, with a bronze medal. Since his successful participation in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games with Barabara Matz, he has been the skipper on the super maxi yacht EWOL (former Morning Glory) and will lead the SSL Team Austria as captain at the SSL Gold Cup 2022
