With The Grid Bar in Cologne I fulfilled my dream of having my own bar, a bar in which I can translate my creative handwriting into modern drinking culture. Before that, my consulting company Shake Kings was already a sought-after expert in the German and international bar scene. In 2014, as bartender of the Spirits Bar in Cologne, I received the awards "Bar of the Year" and "Bar Team of the Year" from trade journalists and colleagues at the Mixology Bar Awards. Just one year later, I was named "Newcomer of the Year" and "World Class Bartender of the Year".
