In my spare time I take care of my wife and children, work as a trainer in a badminton club (http://www.bc-spoeck.de) and play bass in a great folk-rock band (http://www.tam-lin.info).
I joined the project early in 2003 and started by contributing icons, logos and tiny bits of code. Since then I took over organizing the documentation and translation of TortoiseSVN and take care of keeping these processes up and running. I also maintain the website on tigris.org, sourceforge.net and tortoisesvn.net.
