Tom, who grew up in Saarland, developed a passion for climbing at an early age. During his studies in Kaiserslautern, he spent a lot of time in the local bouldering gym, where he further honed his skills. His enthusiasm for climbing eventually led him to the Palatinate, where he discovered outdoor climbing.
As a shaper, Tom places great emphasis on designing holds that can be combined with one another. It is important to him to include a wide variety of holds in different shapes and sizes in every set, allowing climbers to build the exact movements they want. He pays attention not only to functionality but also to visual design. His goal is to create holds that enable people to draw lines or even pictures, blending aesthetics and usability in the climbing world.
