He is an Olympic silver medallist and was a three time world champion as a member of the German men's eight — the Deutschlandachter — who dominated the men's eight event from 2017 to 2019. He rowed at four when the Deutschlandachter at the 2017 World Rowing Cup II set a world's best time of 5.18.68, which was still the standing world mark as of 2021.
